Article 1428
Currency of Payment
If a monetary obligation is expressed in a currency other than that of the place for payment, it may be paid by the debtor in the currency of the place for payment unless
#the parties have agreed that payment should be made only in the currency in which the monetary obligation is expressed.
#If it is impossible for the debtor to make payment in the currency in which the monetary obligation is expressed, the creditor may require payment in the currency of the place for payment, even in the case referred to in sub-Article (1) (b).
#Payment in the currency of the place for payment is to be made according to the applicable rate of exchange prevailing there when payment is due.
#However, if the debtor has not paid at the time when payment is due, the creditor may require payment according to the applicable rate of exchange prevailing either when payment is due or at the time of actual payment.
