Indeed, with the date correctly specified, the function no longer
generates errors. There is one issue though (similar to the one in the
code posted by Henrique):

EUR.PEN
2009-10-16 4.3197

PEN.EUR
2009-10-16 0.2377

#1 Euro = 4.31973 Peruvian Nuevo Sol
#1 Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN) = 0.23150 Euro (EUR)
While EUR/PEN is correct, PEN/EUR seems wrong. I spotted this in other
currencies, too.
