Most Google accounts come with a set or default currency in them, which only a very few people know how to check and change. Having a foreign currency set as the default currency causes practical difficulties to anyone who is using the Google services. Once the default currency is changed to the locale currency of the user, he or she need not change the currency details every time they use a Google service on their device anymore. Also, having the locale currency as the default currency let the Google search fetch more locale content and results during a search and would also bring more content in the locale language of the user too. The user is expected to only follow several steps to change the default currency in the Google account and it is as follows:
How to set the default currency for all sheets in Google sheets?
