One way to write every currency
Pesos, Canadian dollars and euros now read the same everywhere: the plain symbol, and the currency code on anything that is not in your base currency.
The same peso used to be written three ways: CA$170, MX$1,600 or COP 3,000, depending on the screen. Now every amount follows one pattern, so you never have to guess which dollar you are looking at.
The rule
- An amount in your base currency is the symbol and the number: $1,600, or €200 if you track in euros.
- An amount in any other currency adds its code after it: $1,600 MXN, $170 CAD, $3,000 COP, €200 EUR.
- The symbol is always the plain one. A Canadian, Mexican or Colombian amount shows $, never CA$ or MX$, and the code says which.
- A currency with no symbol of its own, like the Swiss franc, shows its code once: CHF 120.
Where you will see it
On a holding's price and share line, its transactions and fees, valuation history, expenses, debts and dividends paid in another currency. The same pattern is in your Excel and PDF exports, so a report reads like the app.
Your totals are in your base currency, so they carry no code. Only an amount in another currency does.
