Buen plugin, funcionando perfectamente a día de hoy. Permite además de una manera muy sencilla elegir las monedas que quieres mostrar la conversión de divisa desde otra moneda Principal.

The best currency exchange rates plugin (I tried 5 of them). But I need more customisation like green color (class) for increasing rate and red color for decreasing one.
