Wikipedia

  1. Currency symbol

    A currency symbol or currency sign is a graphic symbol used to denote a currency unit. Usually it is defined by the monetary authority, like the national central bank for the currency concerned. In formatting, the symbol can use various formattings: before, between or after the numeric amounts: €2.50, 2,50 € and 250, for example; this positioning is determined by national convention. The symbol is not defined or listed by ISO 4217: that only assigns three-letter codes to currencies (like AZN for Azerbaijani manat) and special cases like gold and silver (XAU and XAG respectively) that are used as financial instruments.
