Hello all, I've had a look at the Money gem and some others but I think they may be overkill for what I want. Some advice would be nice.
I have a site where people pledge some money to an account. The amounts could come from all over the world and I want the user to be able to mark the currency that they're pledging in their currency. I was thinking of having a table of currencies (symbols etc) and just allowing the free selection of those. Store the amounts as decimal (no calculations are being done on the values) along with the currency ID. The formatting of the amounts will be ###,###.## (it doesn't have to be locale specific). I also wanted to have a breakdown of the different currencies that go towards making the total .... 55.00 GBP 175.00 USD 3000.00 CAN -------------------- 3230.00 Something like that. It's not overly important. I have looked around for currencies in easily downloadable format (JSON/YAML/XML) but haven't found any good resources. Does anyone know of something?
