Hi Ingo,

Thanks for your kind response.

May be I couldn't clarify properly. I am not looking for such an
extension or feature in the commerce itself which can automatically
change one currency to another. But I simply like to display the price
of a product in two different currencies. The prices will be entered
according to the very standard international rule for each of the
currency and there will not be such an auto converter like thing. So in
the article price section an additional area should be present where we
can put the prices for another different currency ; the relevant VAT and
all other necessary information and  *article price section*  should
pass both the values (currency) . The product.tmpl should display both
the currencies.

So nowhere we are  interested to use such an auto converter.

with best wishes
