Thanks Shlomi,

My boss told me not to worry about different currencies yet.  He's pushing
to get the site up asap with the bare necessities.
I actually have some similar custom code that I'll be using later when I
get more time to implement it (not my first time dealing with international
currencies).

But thanks very much for thinking of this and providing the link. That's a
nice clean collection.
