Hi Angelo,
You may create a separate table called "currencies" and put two fields
like "currency_id" and "currency_desc" in it. Insert all the currencies
you're using to this table. At the end, you'll have a currency_id for
each of your currencies. Now, you can use those ID numbers in your forms
and in your codes for any kind of data collection and data manipulation.
It's always better to define frequently used variables using this way.
Regards
Serdar
