Yes! As a matter of fact you can have as many currencies as you want. WYGIWYH is a bit different from other similar software in this regard, instead of having a set of pre-defined currencies you pick from, you create your own currencies.

On the sidebar click on Management > Currencies > Click on the yellow button with a plus icon on the bottom right side of the screen.

Now you can create a currency. Set a name, a prefix and suffix (USD for example has only a prefix " " or "US ", while bitcoin for example could have only a suffix of " BTC"), and how many decimal places the currency has (most FIAT currencies have 2 decimal places, but Bitcoin has 8 for example).

After creating the currency you can attach it to an account when creating or editing an account, each account can have one currency.

We also support exchange rates for a currency against another (e.g. Bitcoin in USD), this will be displayed alongside the amounts if you set a proper exchange currency for the account or the currency itself. Exchange rates can be fetched automatically, but you need to configure the providers first, see the wiki for more detail, manually on the Exchange Rates page, or using the API.

This should cover the basic functionality.


Let me know if you need some help configuring anything!
