If a player removes more copper, silver, or gold than they have available, it would be nice to have an automatic currency exchange.
Example:
Current behavior:
10 pp, 10 gp, 10 sp, 10 cp
If I need to pay 15 silver for something, I subtract 15 silver and my currency becomes
10 pp 10 gp 0 sp, 10 cp
I've hit 0 and now I have to work out the currency exchange myself. The example I chose is easy to work out, but what if I had to pay 168 silver for something? It would be nice if a prompt appeared asking if I wanted to exchange currency for the transaction.
DDB, if you do this please also include an “off” switch for the feature. My campaign world uses no EP, and only about half the countries use PP. If things start automatically making change I will have a bigger headache tracking my players wealth accurately than I do now since at least half of my group can do those conversions mentally.

Desired behavior:
10 pp, 10 gp, 10sp, 10cp -168 sp -> 9pp, 4gp, 2 sp, 10 cp
(Sorry if this has been requested before, I searched for it but didn't find a post about it)
