Let\'s start with simple piece of code to format money with NumberFormatter:
NumberFormatter
$formatter = new NumberFormatter(\'en_US\', NumberFormatter::CURREN
Zend_Locale::getTranslationList('CurrencySymbol')
Will give you an associative array of 3 letter currency codes to their symbol.
Can then use like this:
$curArr = Zend_Locale::getTranslationList('CurrencySymbol'); echo $curArr['GBP'];
