Hi all, Prompted by this post on the Koha users' list: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2007-February/011153.html I'd like to take a look at how we currently handle currency symbols in Koha. There's a standard defined for currency codes, ISO 4217: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217 I think it would be worthwhile to consider whether integrating those 'official' currency codes into Koha wherever currency is displayed would be useful. For adding records, obviously the MARC21/UNIMARC standard, along with AACR2 or another standard for representing the currency symbol should be used by the librarian. Probably Koha should be able to read that properly in the display pages and display the right currency automatically? Also, for places like fines, acquisitions, etc., where Koha handles monetary transactions, perhaps we should have a system preference for how to display the default currency? Any thoughts, comments, etc.?
