Until you get all the peripheral manufacturers to put out printers and
crts with all the national currency symbols, I think it would be easier
and clearer to stick to abbreviations. Besides you would still have to
use abbreviations when dealing with some Asian country whose symbol
is not in the char set, for example.

I would sure hate to have my transaction messed up by the printer
using the wrong char set, so I'm sure bankers spell it out in full.
