By default, the user currency in Sandwich is set to USD (United States Dollar), but you have the flexibility to change it to any currency of your preference.

To modify your user currency, follow these steps:

1. Click on the User drop-down menu.

2. Select User Settings.

3. Navigate to the General section.

4. Look for the User Currency field.

5. Enter the currency abbreviation of your desired currency.

Alternatively, you can access User Settings by clicking on the cog icon in the top right corner of the main screen or DMA window.

If a valid currency abbreviation is entered, Sandwich will utilize the relevant currency conversion rates to display your selected user currency across the app. This allows you to view figures and values in your preferred currency.

However, it's important to note that if an invalid currency abbreviation is used, Sandwich won't be able to perform accurate currency conversions, resulting in incorrect representation of figures denoted in the user currency.
