Usage

# Configure the currency rates with respect to a base currency (here EUR):

Money.conversion_rates('EUR', {
  'USD'     => 1.11,
  'Bitcoin' => 0.0047,
  'CAD' => 1.39
})

# Instantiate Money objects:

fifty_eur = Money.new(50, 'EUR')

# Get amount and currency:

fifty_eur.amount   # => 50
fifty_eur.currency # => 'EUR'
fifty_eur.inspect  # => '50.00 EUR'

# Convert to a different currency (returns new Money instance)

fifty_eur.convert_to('USD') # => 55.50 USD
fifty_eur.convert_to('USD').currency # => 'USD'

# Perform operations in different currencies:

twenty_dollars = Money.new(20, 'USD')

# Arithmetics:

fifty_eur + twenty_dollars # => 68.02 EUR
fifty_eur - twenty_dollars # => 31.98 EUR
fifty_eur / 2              # => 25 EUR
twenty_dollars * 3         # => 60 USD
3 * twenty_dollars         # => 60 USD

# Comparisons:

twenty_dollars == Money.new(20, 'USD') # => true
twenty_dollars == Money.new(30, 'USD') # => false

fifty_eur_in_usd = fifty_eur.convert_to('USD')
fifty_eur_in_usd == fifty_eur          # => true

twenty_dollars > Money.new(5, 'USD')   # => true
twenty_dollars < fifty_eur             # => true
