As far as pounds sterling goes, the hash sign '#' seems to double up for a pound sign '''. (I've just typed a pound sign by using "<compose> l -" on my SPARC keyboard. God only knows what it looks like on your screen ;-)). However, when you change money to go on holiday (or to the Informix Conference - I wish!), they seem to use 'GBP' or 'UKP', ie the same format as HKD etc below. Other ones I happen to know off the top of my head are LIt (Italian Lira), Fr (French Francs), Fl. (Dutch Guilder!!!!), Pt. (Irish Punt - AFAIK) and Pts. (Spanish Pesetas). Hope these help. > >I think that they use the 2 letter country designation followed by >the denomination symbols.
