Both Future_Currency and Current_Currency are strings, as input. It looks like what you want is to use them as keys to your dictionary of rates, as follows:

New_Amount = currencies[Future_Currency] / currencies[Current_Currency] * amount

Or, split up into more lines for readability:

Future_Value = currencies[Future_Currency]
Current_Value = currencies[Current_Currency]
ratio = Future_Value / Current_Value
New_Amount = ratio * amount
