The "Currencies" section under General in the PUQ Cloud Panel provides a comprehensive interface for managing currency settings used across the system. This section allows administrators to configure, edit, and manage multiple currencies efficiently. Below is a detailed explanation of the interface and its functionalities as seen in the provided screenshot.

Overview of the Currencies Table

The main table displays all available currencies with the following columns:

• Code: The ISO 4217 currency code (e.g., USD for US Dollar, EUR for Euro) used as a unique identifier for each currency.
• Prefix: The symbol or text that appears before the currency amount (e.g., $ for USD, € for EUR).
• Suffix: Optional text or symbols displayed after the currency amount.
• Default: Indicates the system's primary currency. Only one currency can be marked as default at a time. The default currency is highlighted with a green checkmark, while others show a red cross.
• Format: Displays the numerical formatting style for currency values (e.g., "1,234.56" or "1.234,56"). This ensures clarity for different regional preferences.
• Base Conversion Rate: The conversion rate relative to the default currency. For example, if USD is the default currency and the rate for EUR is 0.9, then 1 EUR equals 0.9 USD.
• Actions: Provides options to Edit or Delete a currency. Editing allows administrators to update any field, while deleting removes the currency from the system.
