Currencies
Every currency this converter supports, with a short profile of each: its symbol and subunit, the central bank that issues it, whether it floats freely or is pegged, where it's used, and the history behind it. Pegged currencies are worth knowing about in particular, since their rate against the anchor currency barely changes.
