If your shop has user-selectable currency modes, and your client-side or server-side code needs to know what currency was selected, then write a coded "currency value" into a hidden form field, eg. USD=1, UKP=2, Rupee=3 etc. Change this value whenever the currency mode is changed. Alternatively, if currency is selected from a <select> menu, then simply read the current (coded) value from the select element; no hidden form field is necessary.
