In a current project, people can order goods delivered to their door and choose 'pay on delivery' as a payment option. To make sure the delivery guy has enough change customers are asked to input the amount they will pay (e.g. delivery is 48,13, they will pay with 60,- (3*20,-)). Now, if it were up to me I'd make it a free field, but app...

In php, we have number_format(). Passing it a value such as: number_format(3.00 * 0.175, 2); returns 0.53, which is what I would expect. However, in JavaScript using toFixed() var num = 3.00 * 0.175; num.toFixed(2); returns 0.52. Ok, so perhaps toFixed is not what I want... Maybe something like this... var num = 3.17 * 0.175; v...
Hello, In my application a calculation is performed which display the text to the GUI. The application multiplies a user given amount by a defined number (Say 0.85) to create a total (User types in 2, application works out 2 x 0.85). As the number that is displayed is that of a currency I am trying to correctly format the text to make ...
I'm finding it difficult to find any discussion on best practices for dealing with multiple currencies. Can anyone provide some insight or links to help? I understand there are a number of ways to do this - either transactionally where you store the value entered as is, or functionally where you convert to a base rate. In both cases the...

I'm dealing with lots of different currencies in my application, and I want to know what the "best" way is to store them in an SQLite3 database. I'm leaning towards a fixed-point representation (i.e. store them as integers, where $3.59 gets stored as 359, ¥400 stored as 40000). Is this a good idea? What if my input data later changes an...
I'm looking for a way to convert any amount from one currency to another on a website. The user would enter something like '100' and select USD as the currency, and then chooses Australian or Canadian dollars as the currency to convert to. When he clicks the 'Convert' button, I'd like to convert that amount automatically, through some AP...

Many languages, such as .NET languages and Java come with a currency formatting facility built-in. What they do is format a number using a culture-specific number format and add the culture's currency symbol. The problem here is that the number format is strongly coupled to the currency symbol. In practice the number format should be th...
Given a data set of various currency pairs, how do I efficiently compute the implied fx rate for a pair not supplied in the data set? For example, say my database/table looks like this (this data is fudged): GBP x USD = 1.5 USD x GBP = 0.64 GBP x EUR = 1.19 AUD x USD = 1.1 Notice that (GBP,USD) != 1/(USD,GBP). I would expect the...
On the backend I'm storing money values in a Money class which wraps a BigDecimal and sets rounding to be always Half Even with scale 8. All basic operations work fine and behave as expected. But I need to show those values to the user with scale of 2, and that's bringing me rounding errors. For example, I have these values in the backe...

I've got a Python web server (mod_python, if that makes any difference) that I want to start formatting some currency. I've got two pieces of information when I format the currency - the value (as a number) and the currency (as the three-letter ISO 4217 code). I can also retrieve the country (or even city) that the currency is being fo...

It seems that the NSNumberFormatter can't parse Euro (and probably other) currency strings into a numerical type. Can someone please prove me wrong.
