To show different currencies in the admin panel I add this:
[if-item-param currency_locale][setlocale locale='[item-param 
currency_locale]'][/if-item-param]
within the loop that displays the [item-param total_cost] field.
The result is that each order on the order page will have its
own currency showing.

Maybe something like this would do for printing invoices?
