The fmt_currency()
function lets us format numeric values as currencies.
The table generated by the info_currencies()
function provides a quick
reference to all the available currencies. The currency identifiers are
provided (name, 3-letter currency code, and 3-digit currency code) along with
the each currency's exponent value (number of digits of the currency
subunits). A formatted example is provided (based on the value of 49.95
) to
demonstrate the default formatting of each currency.

There are 172 currencies, which can lead to a verbose display table. To make
this presentation more focused on retrieval, we can provide an initial letter
corresponding to the 3-letter currency code to begins_with
. This will
filter currencies in the info table to just the set beginning with the
supplied letter.
