How to set currency in Commerce programmatically?

[Tom S.]

When a user goes to the store they can change the currency using this widget:

How can I change it programmatically?

I figured it's not a database setting as if I set the currency in one browser, it goes back to the default in a different browser. I also don't see any cookies about currency setting.

Is it using $_SESSIONs?

I just want to be able to manually change from the default currency if the user is from the U.K. for example.

See template chooseCurrency

{{$memberCurrency = ( ( isset( $_SESSION['currency'] ) and in_array( $_SESSION['currency'], \IPS\nexus\Money::currencies() ) ) ? $_SESSION['currency'] : \IPS\nexus\Customer::loggedIn()->defaultCurrency() );}}
