Flex's mx.formatters.CurrencyFormatter has various properties that you can set, 
such as currencySymbol.

By default, the currencySymbol comes from a locale-dependent resource in the 
ResourceManager (the "currencySymbol" resource in the "SharedResources" 
bundle). Which locale is used depends on the localeChain.

The framework has resources for the following locales:

English
French
Spanish
Portuguese
Italian
German
Dutch
Danish
Norwegian
Swedish
Finnish
Russian
Japanese
Korean
Simplified Chinese
Traditional Chinese

When you use the ResourceManager's getString() method, you can pass a locale 
identifier like "fr_FR" to specify that you want the French currency symbol, 
rather than the one specified by the localeChain.

Alternately, if you will be running on the new Player 10.1, you can use the new 
flash.globalization.CurrencyFormatter class, which uses operating-system 
routines to do currency formatting for any locale that the OS supports.
