Looks wrong. Every currencies have different weightage. Say, for
example 1Euro~55INR while 1USD~45INR.

If supporting many countries, better not use the map at all. For
example, India has different versioned map: Indian version of India,
Pakistan version of India, CIA version of India, etc. So, there are
more chances that it will hurt anyone of them when you prefer one map.
(FYI, M$ had to touch their map of India in Win 95, IIRC).

Better, look at other CMS source codes and implementation, esp one
with all these supports.
