Function syntax
    LSParseEuroCurrency(currency-string)
See also LSParseCurrency, LSEuroCurrencyFormat, SetLocale; "Locale-specific content" in Chapter 17, "Developing Globalized Applications," in ColdFusion MX Developer's Guide
History ColdFusion MX: Changed formatting behavior: this function might return different formatting than in earlier releases. This function uses Java locale formatting rules on all platforms, except that it uses the rule detailed in the Usage section for countries in the Euro currency zone.
Parameters
Usage This function determines whether the current locale's country belongs to the Euro Zone, whose members have converted to the euro; if so, the currency-string parameter must be formatted in euros on all JVMs, including Sun JVM 1.3.1. If the country is not in the Euro zone, the string must follow the locale formatting rules of the JVM. For examples of valid currency formats in all supported locales, see LSEuroCurrencyFormat on page 1007.

For a list of the locale options that ColdFusion supports, and information on setting the default display format of date, time, number, and currency values, see SetLocale.
