--- Comment #26 from Martin Renvoize <martin.renvoize at ptfs-europe.com> ---
So, Locale::Currency::Format contains an internal hard coded, but easy to read
hasref of arrays for a small subset of currencies (without taking regions into
account).

CLDR::Number::Format::Currency utilises the CLDR international Unicode
consortium data which take into account language, region and currency.. but
it's no longer maintained and is based on an older version of the CLDR data..
there's another option I wasn't aware of until yesterday, Locale::CLDR which
appears to be sort of maintained in so much as it's using a more up to date
export of the CLDR data.. but it's also a significantly larger module with all
sorts of data that's not directly relevant to us.

I'm tempted to come full circle and go back to using our DB to store just a
relevant set of combinations.. perhaps populating it initially with a subset of
the CLDR data which takes into account region + currency.

Right now, I'm working on the maths side over at
https://gitlab.com/mrenvoize/Koha/-/merge_requests/2, though I'm about to rip
out Data::Money as a dependency.. in fixing that module I decided it would be
easier to just replicate the bits we need within our codebase rather than
pulling it in as a dependency and trying to disable the bit we don't want (the
formatting)
