We already have a format_date() sub to format a date according to a
system preference.
I think it's the way to go with currencies : have a format_currency($_)
when showing a money value.
Note that in the currency table, the value with an exchange rate of
1.0000 is considered as the value to show.
thus, having EUR = 1.0000, USD = 1.4321
gives us : EUR 10000.00 in acquisition part of Koha.
(Note that we would write 10000.00 EUR in fact, but that will be the
goal of format_currency I bet ;-) )
Last note : it's not a high priority feature imho.
