currency

The currency property indicates whether to include a currency symbol before the value in a numeric field, with the exact position of the symbol determined by the zeroFormat property. The formatting of fields of type MONEY depends on the value of strLib.defaultMoneyFormat and is not affected by the currency property.

Values of the currency property are as follows:
No (the default)
Do not use a currency symbol.
Yes
Use the symbol specified in currencySymbol. If no value is specified there, use the default currency symbol. See "Compatibility."
