Package: qalculate
Version: 0.9.6-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I tend to use Qalculate for performing currency conversions between
foreign currencies and the New Zealand Dollar.  Qalculate understandably
uses NZD as the unit for our dollar.

But I've just noticed that Qalculate uses the $ symbol as the unit for
US Dollars.

This is a bit misleading, especially if I didn't know what
was happening and typed in "$100" then asked it to convert to, say
Australian Dollars (AUD).  I would get get a very different amount of
money than if I'd typed in "100NZD" and then converted the currency.

I would suggest that Qalculate should be consistant with the currency
units and use USD as the unit for US Dollars.

This is also the case with the Cents unit.

Cheers!
