Roger might have the old code somewhere. I don't have it anymore.
I will look for it on my old laptop.

I found this:

#DEFINE PRO_CURRENCY PRO_[129]

*****************
function currency()
*****************
// 9/17/2002 10:53PM Dovebid Mods.. Let Currency be blank
// 4/27/2006 9:16AM change to DOS function. did not do when windows originally written
local cSystem:=getcSystem()
IF cSystem=="AUCTION" .AND. type('pro_')<>"U"
IF !empty(PRO_CURRENCY)
return(substr("$œ"+chr(213),val(PRO_CURRENCY),1))
ENDIF
else
return("$")
endif
return(" ")

IMHO at this point it is just easier to use ISO 4217 standard for three-letter intl. currency code and be done with it.

No font hassle, no display problems, clear link between country and currency and all written in standard.
