Synopsis

                  
                  
                  LSCurrencyFormat(number [, type])

Returns a JRE-dependent, locale-specific currency format where number is the currency amount, and type is the locale-specific convention. Valid entries for type are None (the amount), Local (the amount with locale-specific currency formatting; the default), and International (the amount with its corresponding three-letter international currency prefix). Note that for JDK 1.3, Euro Zone countries use the currency symbol of their locale. For JDK 1.4, Euro Zone countries use the euro. For this reason, it is suggested you use the LSEuroCurrencyFormat( ) function if you need to deal with the euro. The following example displays currency formats for each locale:

<cfloop index="locale" list="#Server.Coldfusion.SupportedLocales#">
  <cfset SetLocale(locale)>
  <cfoutput>
    <p><b>#locale#</b><br>
    None: #LSCurrencyFormat(1000000.99, "None")#<br>
    Local: #LSCurrencyFormat(1000000.99, "Local")#<br>
    International: #LSCurrencyFormat(1000000.99, "International")#<br>
  </cfoutput>
</cfloop>
