Answer 1

Try JavaScriptModel ( http://jsm.codeplex.com ):

Just add the following code to your controller action:

this.AddJavaScriptVariable("Currency", Currency);

Now you can access the variable "Currency" in JavaScript.

If this variable should be available on the hole site, put it in a filter. An example how to use JavaScriptModel from a filter can be found in the documentation.
