I'm looking for a full list of currency / money formatting for each locale. I know that for US for example 1500.00 USD would be formatted as

$ 1,500.00

Australian user would see US$ instead of $. Some locales put the sign after the number i.e. 1,500.00 $, other uses minus sign before the currency sign i.e. -$ 1,500.00. Some use space as grouping i.e: $ 1 500.00 and etc and etc

The closest list I could find is http://www.thefinancials.com/Default.aspx?SubSectionID=curformat

But it does not include the position of the minus sign and the currency symbol. Is there any standard that I can refer to in order to format money correctly for each locale?

Thank you!

  • I do not agree with duplication. I haven't found the answer with that link.

  • @GinoPane try this cldr.unicode.org This is the most complete data I was able to find. I'm pretty sure every programming language has an API to work with CLDR data Dec 4, 2015 at 9:20
  • so I can rely on them? The problem is that I've checked internalization on Windows and it seems that they use different format for currencies.

  • As far as I understand CLDR data is published by the Unicode consortium an organization that responsible for the Unicode support. They should be very reliable. Dec 4, 2015 at 10:10
