## What's new

- **A currency for each grant round.** The `Funding Type` step has a `Currency` field, with your
  organisation's currency first and chosen for you. Once an application to the round has been
  submitted, the field is locked and says why. See [Currencies](/administrator/payments/currencies).
- **A currency for each contract.** A contract takes its round's currency, and its `Funding` step
  lets you change it until the contract is sent.
- **A currency for each payment batch.** Choose it when you create the batch. It never changes, and
  a payment in another currency is refused with the reason. See
  [Payment batches](/administrator/payments/payment-batches).
- **Codes on every amount.** The applications list, the decision register, the contracts list and a
  contract's page, the milestones list and the payment batches list show each amount with its code
  and its own decimal places, such as `NZD 1,250.00` and `JPY 12,500`.
- **Totals one line per currency.** The applications list and the decision register total each
  currency on its own line. Amounts in two currencies are never added together, and nothing is
  converted.
