Syntax

[edit]

{{To USD | {{{1}}} | {{{2}}} | year = {{{year}}} | round = {{{round}}} | r = {{{r}}} | cur = {{{cur}}} }}

  • {{{1}}} and {{{2}}} are the template positional parameters (this is, the first and the second parameters in the template).
    • {{{1}}} is the value in the local currency to be converted.
    • {{{2}}} is the country name or 3-letter ISO code for the country whose currency is being converted.
  • {{{year}}} is the year to use for the US dollar value, e.g. US dollars current in 2009. The default is currently 2021.
  • {{{round}}} is an optional parameter. If it is equal to "yes", then the converted value is displayed to the nearest US dollar. The default is rounding to the nearest penny.
  • {{{r}}} is an optional parameter. It sets the digits to which the result must be rounded. A positive value indicates a fractional digit including trailing zeros. Defaults to 2.
  • {{{cur}}} is an optional parameter. It allows to select the currency for the country. Currently only supported for the Euro and the currencies that have been immediately replaced by the Euro.
