  • In magento admin panel where we have the option configuration->manage currency and you can define the value of 1 $ and it automatically reflected on website. But you have to do it manually because there is no API through which you can identify current dollar rate – Saurabh Jan 15 '14 at 14:01

Go to app\code\core\Mage\Directory\etc\config.xml

You can find

<crontab>
    <jobs>
        <currency_rates_update>
            <run>
                <model>directory/observer::scheduledUpdateCurrencyRates</model>
            </run>
        </currency_rates_update>
    </jobs>
</crontab>

Replace it with 

<crontab>
    <jobs>
        <currency_rates_update>
            <schedule>
                <cron_expr>00 01,13 * * *</cron_expr>
            </schedule>
            <run>
                <model>directory/observer::scheduledUpdateCurrencyRates</model>
            </run>
        </currency_rates_update>
    </jobs>
</crontab>

So that currency updates will run twice a day

Then change the version of config.xml

<Mage_Directory>
        <version>1.6.0.X</version>
</Mage_Directory>

X to one version incremented

Then configure cron.php on root folder to run once in an hour or once in 5 hours so that it schedules currency updates row on table cron_schedule. for test purpose run it twice a minute and verify.

You can schedule the currency import through back end. System->Configuration->Currency setup->Scheduled Import Settings Set import as per your requirement and the price will be updated daily.
