Direct answer

Choose the currency that matches the records in the current personal or family scope. NestHome stores currency labels and formats but does not claim automatic live conversion.

At a glance

• Use the actual transaction currency.
• Keep family records consistent.
• Do not treat symbols as exchange calculations.

Step-by-step method

1. Review available currencies. Check the code, name, symbol, and display format.
2. Set the personal default. Choose the currency used for most individual records.
3. Set the family currency. Owners or authorized administrators can choose the family workspace currency.
4. Record exceptions clearly. Use notes or separate records when a transaction occurs in another currency.
5. Convert outside the app when needed. Document the rate and converted amount if you manually normalize records.

Practical example

A family using PKR for normal expenses can keep PKR as the workspace currency and add a note when a travel purchase was originally paid in USD.

Put this into practice

Apply the guide first with one real record or a small test category, then confirm that totals, dates, permissions, and reports look correct before entering a larger history. Keep exports securely, use descriptive names, and give family access only to people who genuinely need the shared information.

• Start with and write down the result.
