It depends on where the exchange rates are.  

If you get them from a database, you can make zope display the current
rates. 

If you get them from a web page, you can use the client feature of zope
to go snarf the web page and then extract what you need (hope you have
permission :)

If some other mechanism can write them to a file, you can suck them up
with an external method whenever someone asks for it.

hope that helps,
