This currency plugin for VirtueMart 3 uses the services of Yahoo Finance. This plugin supports a wide range of world currencies in a fast, reliable and secure way and also implements an effective cache system, so all Yahoo Finance currency requests get cached and the upcoming recuests are handled locally to speed up the conversion process. The default cache lifetime is 6 hours, but this can be easily configured to fit your needs.
