When I was building multi-currency apps in Europe, the rule was you needed
to keep the amount, the currency, and the date -- conversion rates between
currencies are not static.  Then, you need some mechanism to perform
conversions for you that is date sensitive. The Euro made life simpler
(because it fixed the conversion rates within the EC), but the problem did
not completely go away.
