- {{{1}}} is the value in the local currency to be converted.
- {{{2}}} is the country name or 3-letter ISO code for the country whose currency is being converted.
- {{{year}}} is the year to use for the US dollar value, e.g. US dollars current in 2009. The default is currently 2017.
- {{{round}}} is an optional parameter. If it is equal to "yes", then the converted value is displayed to the nearest US dollar. The default is rounding to the nearest penny.
