## Using a fiat currency
The unit class also provides a convenient alternative to create an instance from a fiat amount and the corresponding BTC/fiat exchange rate. Any unit instance can be converted to a fiat amount by providing the current exchange rate. Check the example below:
```javascript
var unit, fiat;
var amount = 100;
var exchangeRate = 350;
unit = new Unit(amount, exchangeRate);
unit = Unit.fromFiat(amount, exchangeRate);
fiat = Unit.fromBits(amount).toFiat(exchangeRate);
fiat = Unit.fromBits(amount).to(exchangeRate);
```
