You can build a simple api to look up the exchange rate, for example, this one gives the exchange rates every 30 minutes (no registration needed).

http://free.currencyconverterapi.com/api/v5/convert?q=EUR_USD&compact=y

It would be dynamically, and no a fixed price rate conversion.

i know there are some limitations, but it could work if you're on a small project, otherwise, you would scrape some data from other pages using beautiful soup.
