!Gopher Banker Information

Currency data is fetched from FloatRates and Packetizer using
units_cur, a Python script distributed with GNU Units. A custom
Bash script processes this to generate the rates list, and
gophermaps. The script uses ISO 4217 English currency names read
from currency list data formatted by Umpirsky on GitHub.

Submitted currency conversions are performed by GNU Units, though
the Bash script used to generate the gophermap is actually able to
perform currency conversions on its own by reading the rates list
generated by units_cur directly. It's pretty slow though.

ASCII flags were picked up mostly from The Flags Guide by Eran
Lahav (below). Submissions of missing flags are welcome.
