The following properties are available when creating or editing a currency object:
Display name |
The name of the currency displayed to users on the live site and in the administration interface. |
Code name |

Currency code |
A three-letter code of the currency used globally in banking and business, i.e. the official code of the currency used in exchange rates. |
Currency formatting string |
The format used to display amounts in the given currency. Use the {0} expression to insert the value into the formatting text. |
Significant digits |
The number of digits in the price that will be used in the total amount. The value will be rounded if the actual number of decimal digits is higher. |
Enabled |
Indicates if the currency object can be used in your on-line store. For example, if checked, the respective currency can be selected from the Currency drop-down list when editing an order on the Billing tab. |
Localization expressions, i.e. Localize other languages (), Remove localization () and Localize (), are described in detail in the Localization expressions topic in the Development -> UI cultures and localization section of the Developer's Guide.
