Er, Squid caches everything by default, so unless you've misconfigured it horribly it's already caching. There are directives to determine the maximum file size to cache and how long files may be cached for. As far as I know there's no way to tell Squid to avoid checking the cached file vs the original file on the web site and re-downloading the file if the cached version is out of date. I could be wrong though. The currency check does utilise some minimal bandwidth.
