Currency symbol

A currency symbol is a short symbol used as for a currency's name.

When writing currency amounts the location of the symbol varies by currency. Many currencies in the English-speaking world and Latin America, place it before the amount (e.g., R$50,00). The Cape Verdean escudo places its symbol in the decimal separator position (i.e., 20$00).^[1] The usage of many European countries, such as France, Germany, Scandinavian countries, is to place the symbol after the amount 20,50 €.
