var CurrencyString : string;
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.
