For Positive and negative number one can use below code snippet for culture

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        List cultures = new List { "ca-ES", "co-FR", "cs-CZ", "cy-GB", "da-DK", "de-AT", "de-CH", "de-DE", "de-LI", "de-LU", "dsb-DE", "en-US", "en-GB" };

        var amount = -16.34M;

        foreach (var c in cultures)
        {
            var cultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(c);

            var numberFormat = cultureInfo.NumberFormat;
            String formattedAmount = null;
            if (amount >= Decimal.Zero)
            {
                String pattern = null;
                switch (numberFormat.CurrencyPositivePattern)
                {
                    case 0:
                        pattern = "{0}{1:N" + numberFormat.CurrencyDecimalDigits + "}";
                        break;
                    case 1:
                        pattern = "{1:N" + numberFormat.CurrencyDecimalDigits + "}{0}";
                        break;
                    case 2:
                        pattern = "{0} {1:N" + numberFormat.CurrencyDecimalDigits + "}";
                        break;
                    case 3:
                        pattern = "{1:N" + numberFormat.CurrencyDecimalDigits + "} {0}";
                        break;
                }
                formattedAmount = String.Format(cultureInfo, pattern, numberFormat.CurrencySymbol, amount);

            }
            else if (amount < Decimal.Zero)
            {
                String pattern = null;
                switch (numberFormat.CurrencyNegativePattern)

                    case 0:
                        pattern = "({0}{1:N" + numberFormat.CurrencyDecimalDigits + "})";
                        break;
                    case 1:
                        pattern = numberFormat.NegativeSign + "{0}{1:N" + numberFormat.CurrencyDecimalDigits + "}";
