# Basic usage
price = Money('10.50', 'USD')
tax = Money('0.98', 'USD')
total = price + tax
print(total)  # USD 11.48

# Currency exchange
xrates.install(SimpleBackend)
xrates.base = 'USD'
xrates.setrate('EUR', Decimal('0.85'))

eur_total = total.to('EUR')
print(eur_total)  # EUR 9.76

# XMoney with automatic conversion
x1 = XMoney('10', 'USD')
x2 = XMoney('5', 'EUR')  
result = x1 + x2  # Automatically converts EUR to USD
print(result)  # USD 15.88
