Clearer currencies on jobs

Could is please be made clearer and more consistent what currency a job is using.

i.e. When submitting a proposal for a job the only indication what currency the proposal is expected in is the currency signs next to the amounts on the New Proposal form, and appears to be either £, $, or € - presumably this corresponds to GBP, USD and EUR - It would be far more beneficial to clarify the currency on the job page some where using the ISO code. Without the currency for the job being clearer, it's easy to miss the currency, and end up pricing the job in the wrong currency, which either leads to getting underpaid what you expected for the job, or overpricing the job and the job being awarded to someone else.

Also, under Sent Proposals on the Dashboard, all proposal prices are listed with £ (pound symbol) next to them, even where the job was proposed in another currency. This leaves me wandering if i priced my job based on the wrong currency much of the time.

I agree with Vince, I find this so frustrating using PPH - some jobs are in sterling, others in dollars, even though the client is UK!!

I too often under or over quote because I didn't spot the small currency symbol. I am forced to use sites like dollars to pounds for every job to work out the sterling equivalent - all this is time consuming and in my eyes unnecessary.

Can you not device a system where if the client is UK then the default is sterling £, outside the UK $ etc?

thanks.
