[drupal-devel] New currency exchange API (and module)

[K B]

As it stands today, it is limited to currencies that have a 3 letter
ISO code (e.g. USD, CAD, EUR, ..etc.), AND available on Yahoo Finance.
This is a set of 157 currencies.

So, it is not extensible beyond what Yahoo provides exchange rates for.
