(Use HTTPS for the XE home page link and use up-to-date HTTPS URLs for the XE currency conversion links in order to provide increased privacy and security for users. (From what it appears, the existing XE currency conversion HTTP URLs would generate a 301 redirect to an HTTPS URL which would generate a 301 redirect to another HTTPS URL. Also, the XE home page HTTP URL would generate a 301 redirect to an HTTPS URL.))

(I don't see any consensus on the talk page for this website being on here (if anything there's evidence it is controversial) and it does not appear to be needed on top of the other external links already available in the template. (I also don't understand how it having historical data is relevant to it being added here either when this template is clearly for listing links to "current exchange rates".))

Current exchange rates
From Google Finance: AUD CAD CHF EUR GBP HKD JPY USD
From Yahoo! Finance: AUD CAD CHF EUR GBP HKD JPY USD
From XE: AUD CAD CHF EUR GBP HKD JPY USD
From OANDA: AUD CAD CHF EUR GBP HKD JPY USD

Instruction

It is very easy to use this template. You will know right away when you see this example:

{{Exchange rate|TWD}}

which produces

Current TWD exchange rates
From Google Finance: AUD CAD CHF EUR GBP HKD JPY USD
From Yahoo! Finance: AUD CAD CHF EUR GBP HKD JPY USD
From XE: AUD CAD CHF EUR GBP HKD JPY USD
From OANDA: AUD CAD CHF EUR GBP HKD JPY USD

Additional currencies

You may also specify up to 3 additional foreign currencies.

{{Exchange rate|SGD|MYR|CNY|IDR}}

produces

Alternative layouts

If you don't like navbox style you can specify style = h3 or style = h2 which produces something more like standard text. Using header = h3 or header = h2 also have the same effect.

{{Exchange rate|EUR|style=h3}}

produces

Current EUR exchange rates

From Google Finance: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
From Yahoo! Finance: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
From XE: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
From OANDA: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD

The |style= parameter overrides the |header= parameter, but not vice versa. Thus, if the template is called with header = h3 but style = navbox, it will display as a navbox. If it is called with header = h3 and no specification for |style=, on the other hand, |header= will be used and it will show up as text instead of as a nabvox.


You may specify header = h3 or header = h2 so that the mock header looks like the level 3 header or level 2 header, respectively. By default, the template displays like a navbox. This template currently only supports an overridden mock headers 2 and 3, not level 4, 5, or 6.

{{Exchange rate|EUR|header = h3}}

produces

Current EUR exchange rates

From Google Finance: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
From Yahoo! Finance: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
From XE: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
From OANDA: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD

Sites managed

  • Google finance : live exchange rates with history since mid 2003
  • Yahoo! Finance : currency converter with pocket guide
  • XE : currency converter and 10 years history charts
  • OANDA : currency converter, pocket guide, live exchange rates, with history since 1990
  • fxtop : exchange rates from central banks, daily historical rates and charts from 1953, currency converter (10 currencies at the same time), cross exchange rates, world map and pocket guide

Caveat

  • "Current XYZ exchange rates" looks like a section title, but it's not. This was done to "remove" the edit links on the right so that people won't accidentally change the template. However, the side-effect of that is the font size won't change in IE (at least IE 6) if I enlarge or shrink my font size.

Choice of currencies

Currently, the 8 default currencies listed here are Bloomberg's benchmark currencies [1].
