Currencystring - the currency string used in currency display functions

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.
