When you create a new Invoice, the default Currency is shown in the footer will be the Default Base Currency as defined in the Base Currency setting in the System module. You can change to Base Currency 2 if necessary: this has been done in the illustration below.

The current conversion rate between the two Base Currencies is shown on the 'Currency' card of the Invoice:

In this example, Base Currency 1 is Pounds Sterling (GBP) and Base Currency 2 is the Euro. GBP 0.696088 buys one Euro: this conversion rate is taken from the latest record in the Base Currency Rates setting. If you wish to change the conversion rate, you can do so (if so allowed by the Prevent Base Rate Changes option for the Currency in question), but note that this should be done before you enter any Items and that the change will apply to this Invoice only. In general, if the Base Rate has changed, you should first go to the System module and enter the relevant Rate before you start the day's invoicing.
