Custom user variable for user object

How can I add a custom user variable for the user object? I want something that a user can customize in their profile page and that I can retrieve in the user object in another module, for example a preference for currency USD or EURO.

I would accept the simplest idea that doesn't involve writing a module, unless is no other way.

You can use the Profile module to define additional settings that users will be able to edit in their profile page and will be available in the $user object: http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/profile

Furthemore, you should read How to create new profile fields.
