Custom Currency Conversion Trigger

I need a little help . I am almost there ... but need a little hand-holding. Agenda is to ALWAYS display the value converted in EUR - does not matter what the record currency is.
I am using this code below:
trigger convertToEuro on CustomObject(before update) { 
    List<CurrencyType> currencyTypeList = [select id,IsoCode,ConversionRate from CurrencyType where isActive = true] ;

    Map<String , Decimal> isoWithRateMap = new Map<String, Decimal>();

    for(CurrencyType c : currencyTypeList) {

        isoWithRateMap.put(c.IsoCode , c.ConversionRate) ;

    }



    for(CustomObject ce: trigger.new){

        if(ce.CurrencyIsoCode != 'EUR' && isoWithRateMap.containsKey(ce.CurrencyIsoCode)){

            ce.Amount_Converted__c = ce.ffps_iv__Amount__c/ isoWithRateMap.get(ce.CurrencyIsoCode);

        }

    }
}

It is doing everything fine except the fact that the Amount_Converted__c field's values are displayed as USD (& EUR) but EUR seems like display only value - the USD is what the Amount_Converted__c field is holding. I want to use Amount_Converted__c converted in EUR in my workflow but instead I am getting the USD value - how could I just get the EUR value? I don't really need the Record Currency type - I need my EUR currency to be used in my workflows/approvals.
