Template:To USD round
Template documentationThis template converts a value given in the national currency of a given country to a round US dollar figure. The intended use is for large round figures, when you don't want €3.2 million turning into US$3,784,640, you just want a round figure like US$3,600,000. It tries to mimic the same number of significant figures as are present in the original amount. The template uses values published by the IMF.[1]
Usage
{{To USD round|AMOUNT|COUNTRY|YEAR|sf=SIGFIG}}
