Product Description:

Currency Assistant is a very flexible and easy-to-use currency conversion calculator. It lets you convert between 175 world currencies and automatically updates exchange rates over the Internet. With Currency Assistant you can easily create multiple converters, import and convert series of amounts, calculate and convert the result of expressions, and quickly log, save, export, and print your conversions.

What's new in this version:

The Rate indicator and the Rate pop-up menu can now show either currency names or ISO codes. To choose the desired display option, use the "Rate indicator uses" and "Rate pop-up menu uses" buttons in the General pane of the Preferences window.
You can now display the names of the currencies in a converter by placing the mouse pointer over its Switch Currency pop-up menus. To disable tooltips, deselect the "Show currency tooltips in converters" checkbox in the General pane of the Preferences window.
Separators in converters can now be darkened to better distinguish them. To make separators darker, drag the "Darken separators" slider in the General pane of the Preferences window.
The possibility to quickly switch to the next currency listed in the Switch Currency menu by pressing Option-Tab has been re-introduced. In addition to that, you can now also switch to the previous currency in the menu by pressing Shift-Option-Tab.
The new Turkmen manat (TMT) has been introduced. The new manat and the old manat (TMM) will circulate together until December 31, 2009 with 1 TMT = 5,000 TMM.
Copy Special commands can now include currency names.
The automatic update of exchange rates has been modified so that Currency Assistant doesn't hang anymore for several seconds if you start updating rates while your computer establishes the connection to the Internet.
The New Converter and Open Converter commands have been added to the Currency Assistant menu in the Dock.
Check for updates has been fully revised and lets you now check for updates both manually and automatically. To set Currency Assistant to check for updates automatically or schedule how often you want it to check, open the Software Update pane of the Preferences window.

The calculator in Panther seems to have the same functionality, so what is the difference?

give you for free the daily exchange rate of most of currencies. See for yourself if Euro Assistant's extra features are worth the $15 shareware fee.
