I am currently working with a company on an eCommerce application.  In looking through their application and the way that localization is handled in DNN I should be able to handle much of the conversion with core DNN functionality.  One area which seems to present problems is currency.  Is there any windows APIs that would map a CultureInfo/Locale to a currency for that culture?  How are others solving this problem in DNN?  I have seen plenty of examples of how to format a number for a given currency based on a culture, but have not been able to determine how to find the currency given a specific culture.  For example, if I know that the culture is fr-FR, how can I determine that Euro is the default currency and that Franc is an alternate currency?

Erik,

A Couple Items.  The Franc was just an example, but if some website owner wants to allow customers to pay in Francs, that is their business. 

As for the Currency Symbol:  I actually need more information than just the symbol.  I need the name, and the shortname (not sure if it an ISO name or not).  For example, for en-US the site might display:  Dollars or USD or $.  The Currency Symbol would just provide the $ which is not enough to distinguish between US Dollars and Canadian Dollars both of which use the $ symbol.
