Currency patterns and fraction information

[John Emmons]

Isaac, the reason is that the currency pattern can more generally apply to
ANY currency, not just the one that is most commonly used in the country.
For example, in the Japanese locale, I have the default currency pattern of
"¤#,##0.00" which would apply as "€1,234.56" for euros, or "¥1,235" for
yen.

That's good to know, thanks.  Although it makes me wonder why have
currency data instead of just defining a currency pattern such as:

    #,##0 ¤

in case no decimals should be used.

I've downloaded the Java source, but I will need some time to find the
right spot.  I'll take a look this weekend.

Thanks again for the information.

Best regards.
