- Go to 'Manage Your Content and Devices' and log in with your existing Amazon account.
- Open the 'Preferences' tab.
- Select 'Country/Region Settings' and then select 'Change'.

You can update your Currency of Preference by going to the currency settings page and selecting your preferred currency from the drop-down menu.
If you are using a mobile device, go to the 'Options' tab, find 'Settings', select 'Country & Language', choose your desired currency, and confirm the change.
