# Currency

> The currency field in a HireData form. It is a number field with a symbol in front of it, offering Euro, Dollar, Pound, Swiss Franc, Yen, and Rupee.

Currency is a Number field with a symbol in front of the box. Use it for a salary expectation, an hourly rate, or a budget. Logic and the evaluators treat the answer as a plain number, so everything a Number field can do, a Currency field can do too.

It sits in the **Numeric** group of the **Add Content** palette.

## Settings

The card carries the [settings every field shares](/reference/forms/overview#settings-every-field-shares). Currency adds five of its own.

* **Placeholder**, up to 255 characters, shown in the empty box.
* **Minimum Value** and **Maximum Value**, the ends of the range you accept.
* **Currency Symbol**, one of **Euro**, **Dollar**, **Pound**, **Swiss Franc**, **Yen**, or **Rupee**.
* **Steps**, the size of one step.

The symbol is decoration on the box. HireData stores the number and does not convert between currencies, so a form that has to handle several of them needs a separate question asking which one the respondent meant.

## What it stores

A number, without the symbol.

## Evaluation

Switch **Criteria**, **Scoring**, or **Skills** on for the form in the [Evaluation tab](/reference/forms/evaluation/overview) and each one gets a switch on this card. A salary ceiling is a sensible **Criteria** must-have: above the number, the candidate is out of range.
