The rate of the base currency is always 1. The base currency determines the

conversion rates of the other currencies.

of currencies opens and you can see the current base currency at the top.

2 To change the base currency, scroll to the currency (usually your domestic

currency), and select Options→ Set as base curr..

Important: When you change the base currency, all previously set

exchange rates are set to 0 and you need to key in new rates.
