I want to use a currency that isn’t on the standard list. I can see from the online help that I can add a new currency using a filter but I have no idea what a filter is or how to access one. Can someone provide an idiot’s guide please? For an average person, not a web developer.

Hi Jemma. What is the currency you want to add? We can help you configure the gform\_currencies filter.

> **[gform\_currencies](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_currencies/)**
>
> This filter can be used to update existing currencies and/or create new currencies.

We will need the following information in addition to the currency symbol in order to help you with the configuration.

```auto
$currencies['SYMBOL'] = array(
	'name' => __( 'CURRENCYNAME', 'gravityforms' ),
	'symbol_left' => '',
	'symbol_right' => '',
	'symbol_padding' => '',
	'thousand_separator' => '',
	'decimal_separator' => '',
	'decimals' => 9
);

```
