Yeah, I've already got that stack. It does allow you to pass in a currency symbol (or maybe I adapted it to do that, don;t remember), but that doesn't help me. I don;t know what the correct currency symbol should be without either getting it from the user's OS preference settings or asking the user to specify it to my application as a preference. I'm hoping there's a way to get it from the OS preferences so users don;t have to specify it two different places.
