To see how to change the currency, you can see how is made the hikashop currency switcher module. Hope this will help you.

I was going to create a plugin as suggested, but wanted to know how to switch the currency. Unfortunately looking at the currency module is not much help to me as it calls he main component and I do not know what or where in the component to look.
