Price Quote Generator - re-re-visited

Hi all. I hope that everyone is fine and doing well.

This is something of an annual visit for me. You guys helped me enormously with the code below. It is a price quote generator that takes a number (entered by the client) and depending on the package selected, produces a price quote.

As I said, it works really well, but it's time for me to expand my business overseas.

At the moment, I display the price as a single currency, but I would like for clients to be able to select (maybe from a drop down list in the answer field) any one of 4 different currencies (i.e., GBP, USD, EURO, MYR). The different exchange rates don't need to be up to the minute accurate. I'm quite happy to go in to the code and update them weekly or as required.

I have attempted to research different ways of doing this, but as my needs are quite unusual and my brain really can't wrap around the ins and outs of java script, i'm here again begging with my cap in hand for help.

To see this code in action as it stands, please go to www.grammarproofing.com

Code:
<head>
<!--quote generator -->
<script type="text/javascript">
function update(){
var price = document.getElementById("Package").value;
var words = document.getElementById("words").value;
if (words != "") {
words = parseInt(words);
if (isNaN (words)) {
alert ("Please enter the number of words in figures");
document.getElementById("words").value = "";
return false;
}
}
var wordsOver2000 = words-2000;
if (wordsOver2000 <0) {wordsOver2000 = 0}
words = words - wordsOver2000;
var Tprice = ((price * words) + (price * .95 * wordsOver2000)).toFixed(2) ;document.getElementById("Totprice").value = Tprice;
document.getElementById("Totprice2").innerHTML = "Your Quote Total Is: MYR" + Tprice
}
</script>
<!--end quote generator -->
</head>
Code:
<body>
<!--start quote generator -->
<div class="quote" id="quote">
  <select name="Package" id = "Package" onchange = "update()">
    <option value="0.052">STUDENTS THE 11th HOUR PACKAGE</option>
    <option value="0.041">STUDENTS EXPRESS PACKAGE</option>
    <option value="0.035" selected="selected">STUDENTS WORK in PROGRESS PACKAGE</option>
  </select> 
   x   
   <input type="text" id="words" onchange="update()" value="" />
  WORDS<br />
= MYR
<input type = "text" id = "Totprice" readonly />
</div>
<!--end quote generator -->
</body>
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Regards as always, Phil
