What is Currency Converter meaning?
A currency converter is an app/ tool that allows you to convert an amount of one currency into another currency based on the current exchange rates. This tool is essential when you are planning for your international travel. Whether you travel frequently for business or vacations, estimate expenses in the local currency at the destination and carry cash. So, convert your local currency to the destination local currency.
E.g. You are planning your next vacation in the exotic city of Lagos in Nigeria. The hotel expenses, local purchases, meals, and local transport will be in Nigeria’s local currency, “Naira”. (You should know the local currency at the destination before your travel) You can search here to find the name of the currency and its code. Then comes how much will be the total local expenses for the entire stay? Use an online Travel Cost Calculator to get a fair estimate. But the cost will come to “Naira”. Use this currency converter app to “Naira” into “Dollar” to find how much will be the cost of your vacation in your local currency, in this case, “Dollar”.
