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

The name of the currency used by developers in the code. Unless there is a reason to set a particular value, you can leave the default (automatic) option, and the system will generate an appropriate 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 (LocalizeLanguages), Remove localization (Delete) and Localize (AddNewUICulture), are described in detail in the Localization expressions topic in the Development -> UI cultures and localization section of the Developer's Guide.

 

Further information about currencies and exchange rates can be found in E-commerce Guide -> Managing your store -> Currencies.
