Source: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/9473-module-force-currency/

Note: Error in amount shown in store owner email but is correct in customer email. Use with caution.

in init.php before:

$currency = Tools::setCurrency();

add:

$cookie->id_currency = intval(Configuration::get(‘PS_CURRENCY_FRONT_DEFAULT’));

in admin/tabs/AdminCurrencies.php after:

‘PS_CURRENCY_DEFAULT’ => array(‘title’ => $this->l(‘Default currency:’), ‘desc’ => $this->l(‘The default currency used in shop’), ‘cast’ => ‘intval’, ‘type’ => ‘select’, ‘identifier’ => ‘id_currency’, ‘list’ => Currency::getCurrencies()),

add:

‘PS_CURRENCY_FRONT_DEFAULT’ => array(‘title’ => $this->l(‘Default currency front:’), ‘desc’ => $this->l(‘The default currency used in front shop’), ‘cast’ => ‘intval’, ‘type’ => ‘select’, ‘identifier’ => ‘id_currency’, ‘list’ => Currency::getCurrencies()),

Next go to admin->payment->currencies and set up your default shop currency. Customer CAN change the currency if needed.
