- Under Preferences, tap Default Currency.
- In Select Currency, type to search or pick from Popular currencies, Fiat currencies or Cryptocurrencies. The currency Detected from your location is listed at the top.

The screen explains: Used for your total balance and when creating new groups.
Which currencies are available
ShareCost supports more than 100 currencies, including the common world currencies and several cryptocurrencies. Each currency uses its own number of decimals, for example none for the Japanese yen.
Good to know
- A group has its own currency, set by its admin in Group Settings, see Change a group's name, currency, colour or categories. Balances inside a group are always shown in the group currency.
- Converting group balances into your default currency uses daily exchange rates; converted amounts carry a ≈ sign, see Add an expense in a foreign currency.
- To show rounded amounts without decimals, switch on Hide Decimal Places in Settings, see Change the language, theme and display options.
