Description |
The CurrencyString variable is used in currency display functions. It is used to prefix or suffix the currency amount.
For example, the UK default is ?, so 1.23 is displayed as ?1.23 by default.

Notes |
The CurrencyFormat value determines whether the currency string is placed before or after the amount, and whether a space is placed between it and the amount.
CurrencyString = LOCALE_SCURRENCY by default.
