Euro Converter

On January 1st, 1999, the European currency called the “euro” was introduced. This gives people the ability to conduct business in either their national currency or in the euro. Libraries need the ability to convert fines or fees assessed in Circulation from their national currencies into the “euro” equivalent should the borrower want to pay their fines or fees in euros. A borrower may also want to pay their fines or fees in a currency other than the national currency of the library or in euros. Horizon includes a “currency” calculator (Euro Converter) which will do currency conversions for libraries.

Euro Converter is pre-configured to use the conversion values for these eleven countries, as set December 31, 1998:

Austria
Belgium
Finland
France
Germany
Ireland
