Siri is great in quiet places when someone wants to convert multiple currency units. It is also possible to use the stocks app on the iPhone to find the exchange rate of a currency. to do this, go to the currency calculator on Yahoo Finance. The app uses Yahoo Finance for its data. The Web page is:
http://finance.yahoo.com/currency/convert find the heading for currencies and enter the currency pair that is to be converted. The system will automatically populate the name of the currency as you type it using the instructions. When it names the currency, the page also lists the symbol for each currency. In the earlier example, the British Pound is GDP and the Australian Dollar is AUD. The symbols for the currency pair then need to be entered into a formula in the edit field where one would normally add a stock symbol for validation. The formula is symbol one combined with symbol two followed by an equals sign and the letter X with no spaces. The first symbol is the base currency and the second symbol is the converted currency. In the earlier example the formula would be: gbpaud=x For the exchange rate of Australian dollars into Brittish Pounds, the order would be reversed. I like to keep track of exchange rates in this way because SIRI may not be available because of noise. It delivers the same results as SIRI with two decemal places.
