We have localized the pages based on language, not country, but for some languages this is probably do-able. I've forwarded this idea to the Debian Auditor Team, to be sure that it's possible for Debian to receive donations in different currencies. Once they give us the "ok" or proper advice, I would forward your suggestion to the different language teams, so they update the localized pages with the currencies they consider most used for the people speaking those languages.
