Supported Currencies

🎯 GOAL: Make Financial Freedom Work Anywhere

We want to make Financial Freedom work with any currency. Right now, we need to take a few of the bigger ones, but structure the system in a way to easily add other currency support.

Related to #109 , I have seeded the options with:

• USD
• EUR

One thing that came to mind is some currencies might also have different separators.

For example, 23,49 € EUR

Definitely! I'm thinking of using either DineroJS: #73

Most likely the IntlNumberFormat since it's built into JS itself and should have full browser support
