It's probably best to have the documents reflect the currency of the
transaction. Effective exchange rates depend on how FFIS and SPI transfer the
money (e.g. international wire transfer, XEtrade, currency conversion fees,
etc) and on what date the money transfer to ISIC (or direct venfor payment) is
made. Any exchange rate provided by the vendor in their document is probably
going to be different than what we actually get.
Conceptually, if the obligation being presented to FFIS or SPI for payment is
in cordobas, then it's up to FFIS or SPI to figure out how to make the right
amount of cordobas end up in the right place by the deadline. A dollar or euro
amount is only relevant to their subsequent recordkeeping and for DebConf's
budgeting.
