Description

Convert a string made of a number and a currency symbol to float or to a Currency Type.

I think that we should write a simple version of this converter supporting a few frequently used currency, such as:

  • Dolar
  • Euro
  • Yen
  • Real
  • Bitcoin

And then, eventually, build it seriously as another project.

What do you think?
