Hi Oliver,

Could you give me a clue in the  "moneychanger" how to alter the the Us-Dollar/Can-dollar/GB-Pound monetary signs to the actual text  USA  CAN  GBP this is for a couple of reasons. The dollar sign of the USA and Canada are almost the same just one is suppost to have one downward line and the other two, though nobody bothers with that any more. The second reason is when its viewed on a touch pad or phone the hover doesn't work so the text won't show to confirm the Currency chosen.

Even when a Currency is chosen it doesn't show against the prices on the page   eg : $45.00 usd 

Also it affects the check out price as the cart follows the Currency chosen on the item page but does not show or confirm anywhere in the checkout pages or cart it has done so or show the currency it is actually using. I know you would hope the customer is paying attention before going though the purchasing process but I think we know how that will work out. Plus then you need to go back to the page that has the item listed to confirm what Currency your in. Assuming your not on a phone. 

I have looked to see if I am missing something in the setup but see nothing to give a choice of symbol or text to be shown in the buttons,  only changing the rollover on the button. Or to show the currency in the checkout section. I figure just changing the Signs to Text is the easiest way and a good start, though I would like the currency also shown in the checkout pricing at least to confirm the choice of the currency is what the customer expects or wants. So if you could perhaps steer me in the direction to enable this, or any other suggestions that would be great.  

Thanks for your help,

James

Hi James,

what I would do is modify the currencies (in Setup -> Currencies), replace the $ symbol with [space]USD for american dollars and set the position to 'end'.

Like that, products will show as 57.00 USD for instance.
