#### Create a new currency

1. Click **+ Create** (top-right of the page).
2. In the **Create** modal, fill in:
    
    
    - **Code** – the ISO currency code (e.g., `USD`, `EUR`, `JPY`).
    - **Prefix** – symbol shown **before** the amount (e.g., `$`, `CHF`).
    - **Suffix** – symbol shown **after** the amount (e.g., `zł` for PLN).
    - **Exchange Rate** – base conversion rate against your system’s base currency.
    - **Format** – choose the number formatting style (thousand/decimal separators).
    - **Default** – tick if this should become the **system default** currency.
3. Click **Save**.

*Notes*

- You can use either a sign (e.g., `€`) or a short text (e.g., `NZ$`) for prefix/suffix.
- The **Exchange Rate** is relative to your base currency (the one you treat as “1.00”).

*“Create Currency” modal with all fields (Code, Prefix, Suffix, Exchange Rate, Format, Default).*

#### Edit an existing currency

1. In the list, click the **pencil** icon for the currency you want to change.
2. Update **Code**, **Prefix**, **Suffix**, **Exchange Rate**, **Format**, or toggle **Default**.
3. Click **Save** to apply changes.

*Tips*

- Use Format to enforce consistent display (e.g., `1,234.56` vs `1.234,56`).
- When you change **Exchange Rate**, all derived conversions will use the new rate going forward.

*“Edit Currency” modal opened from the row (rate/format/default shown).*

#### Delete a currency

- Click the **trash** icon on the currency row you wish to remove, then confirm.  
    (You cannot delete a currency that is currently set as **Default**; switch default first.)

- - - - - -

#### Search, sort, and paginate

- **Search** (top-right) filters by code or symbols.
- Click column headers to **sort** (e.g., by **Code**).
- Use page controls at the bottom to navigate through the list.

#### Best practices

- Keep **one** clear **Default** currency at all times.
- Review **Exchange Rates** regularly or automate updates if available elsewhere.
- Prefer **ISO codes** for clarity (`USD`, `EUR`, `GBP`, etc.).
- Use **Prefix/Suffix** consistently across your currencies (e.g., `$` as prefix, `zł` as suffix).

That’s it—you can now add, edit, remove, and format currencies in the Admin Area with confidence.
