Increase precision of the exchange rates

Under Consideration

The exchange rate for my currency against USD is a very small number.

If I use USD as the primary currency and my currency as the secondary, I get:

-- 1 USD = 7650 MY CURRENCY

This is configurable right now, no issues.

The issue is that I need to have my currency as the primary one and USD as the secondary, so I get:

-- 1 MY CURRENCY = 0.00013072 USD

This is far larger than the currently supported precision for that field "exchange_rate: decimal(21,6).

In this case, the exchange rate stays as 0.000130 not the right one and affects prices.

Please consider increasing the precision of that field so exchange rates work fine with currencies like this. In my case would be to 8 at least.

I found that many currencies in latin america and other parts of the world behave like this or pretty similar
