Money Bot for Telegram

Bot is handy in group chats. She looks for the currencies in chat context and converts $, €, ₽, CAD currencies to opposite ones (based on Open Exchange Rates). Opposite ones are set empirically.

For example:

• someone sent to a chat bought a backpack for $119 free shipping
• she replies 7691 ₽

Start chat with @USDRUB_bot in Telegram. Ask '$1', '5€' or even '100 RUB'.
