Description
The fmt_currency() function lets us format numeric values as currencies.
The table generated by the info_currencies() function provides a quick
reference to all the available currencies. The currency identifiers are
provided (name, 3-letter currency code, and 3-digit currency code) along with
the each currency's exponent value (number of digits of the currency
subunits). A formatted example is provided (based on the value of 49.95) to
demonstrate the default formatting of each currency.
