It is worth noting that unlike the Oanda and XE, the ECB based only publishes reference rates for a select set of currencies. If a user has a currency outside that set, the code sets the rate to 0 which can cause users some grief.

It is necessary to escape updating any currency that returns a null value and perhaps sending the site admin an email to inform of this issue.
