Hi,

In the documentation on developer.akopia.com it says the following for 
the Euro (similar actians are required for the pound):

How do I display Euro pricing?
You can use Interchange's II8N facilty via the Locale directive. In 
catalog.cfg: 


 # to define the euro-Settings (PriceDivide is for converting from DM)
Locale eur_EUR PriceDivide         1.95583
Locale eur_EUR p_cs_precedes       0
# this is great - you can even use HTML-Tags to display an euro-image
Locale eur_EUR currency_symbol     "<IMG src="/path/to/image/euro.gif">"
Locale eur_EUR p_sep_by_space      2
Locale eur_EUR mon_decimal_point   ,

# and the DM Locale de_DE Locale de_DE p_cs_precedes 0 Locale de_DE 
p_sep_by_space 2 

Note: Be sure to use the latest exchange rates when you establish your 
catalog. 

On your pages (this is from a search results page, the [item-.... ...] 
notation may be different depending on your context): 


 [item-price]<br><!-- german is default -->
[setlocale eur_EUR]
  [currency convert=1][item-field price][/currency]<br><!-- the euro -->
[setlocale]

Any questions? Read the docs about ``Internationalization.''

PS! You can find this article by searching for Euro (only hit)
