+"""Displays currency exchange rates. Currently, displays currency between GBP and USD/EUR only.
+
+Requires the following python packages:
+    * requests
+
+Parameters:
+    * currency.interval: Interval in minutes between updates, default is 1.
+    * currency.source: Source currency (ex. "GBP", "EUR"). Defaults to "auto", which infers the local one from IP address.
+    * currency.destination: Comma-separated list of destination currencies (defaults to "USD,EUR")
+    * currency.sourceformat: String format for source formatting; Defaults to "{}: {}" and has two variables,
+                             the base symbol and the rate list
+    * currency.destinationdelimiter: Delimiter used for separating individual rates (defaults to "|")
+
+Note: source and destination names right now must correspond to the names used by the API of https://markets.ft.com
