Don't see need for this when it's a NOB. Up to Adolfo how the icon is designed,
and actually the issue with dollar sign is not existent anymore.

I think there is some confusion as if a designer wants to include a currency
sign on a bill or coin, that is fine.

Yes we need to close this bug, but Adolfo reverted the dollar sign tango icon
back to the old coins icon, so this needs to be reverted.

We talked in the design meeting about this and came to the conclusion of one
icon for currency, in general. It's up to the icon designer to find a creative
solution with a bill, coins, or whatever that doesn't use a particular currency
sign.

So if Tango uses $ instead of £ it's NOTOURBUG.

I'd suggest adding the glyph for the Rupee ₹, and the Rand R, to the list of
Dollar $, Euro €, Pound £, Ruble ₽, and Yen/Yuan ¥. 

There is no Unicode glyph for the Argentinian Peso --- the glyph for it has two
vertical bars.

This approach is doomed to failure. You totally neglect south america, for
instance, or force them to use dollar. And even with peso, real, and bolivar
there are many more currencies and peoples who don't want to be forgotten.

I think with 5 symbols (Dollar, Euro, Pound, Rubel, Japan Yen and China Yuan
(same)) you can fit 90% of the world and if someone else want to have another
symbol, why not.

So I would add to breeze dollar as default and euro, pound, rubel, yen for
different countries.

If we go we the symbol solution independent from the locale it's up to the icon
designer how the currency is represented. Breeze has an icon, and this icon
likely not changes because of LibreOffice. Sifr may use coins and bills, and
Tango the dollar sign. In the end the icon set has to have a harmonic
appearance and the user decides what she wants to use.
If we go with a locale dependent solution we are in charge of making it nice.
That could be bold font for Sifr, Serif/Sans etc. Doubt that works ultimately.
We can also request a number of localized icons from the designers - again it's
up to them how they look.
So the discussion is not bill, coin, or another more creative solution.

This issue is getting really complicated when the simple solution is to find an
icon metaphor that works.

The current 'pile of coins' icon doesnt work and i vote for the return of the
dollar sign icon I created because of all the points i've already mentioned and
its also available in sifr and breeze. As i created it in gimp, the icon is to
be created in inkscape by a designer whenever they show up.

The other option is the bank note and we can add the dollar sign in the middle
to give it more readability and we'd have to get someone to design it for
tango, as it wont work for breeze or sifr.

It wouldn't even need ICU for that because for all locales we support we
already have each ISO currency code or rather the currency symbol in our locale
data which matches the currency format that is applied when clicking the
button. See the  elements in i18npool/source/localedata/data/*.xml
which can be obtained through UNO API or the LocaleDataWrapper class.

However, pre-generating 250 currency icons or generating an icon on the fly
whenever you change the office locale I'd also name a bit overkill.. anyway, if
someone wants to work on it and can solve the problem how to generate a proper
icon suiting the theme and somehow store it in the user configuration so that
it gets used by the UI, or load a pre-generated icon matching the current work
locale, then why not..

I'm not sure if "localizing" the button for the UI locale helps anything,
because what you get when clicking the button is not the currency format of the
UI locale but the work locale instead. But matching the UI locale might be
better than nothing for people who complain about this as they likely work in
the same locale as their UI locale.

Understand the reluctance, but frankly the generic "bank note"
taxes-finances.svg is even less readable than the old "piles of coins". 

Guess we could define an icon for "every" ISO 4217:2015 locale/currency--but
doing it once per build at compile time with the ICU libraries, if possible,
seems more maintainable.

Maybe adding a full set of appropriate glyphs (to match the ICU mappings to
Currency code/number) for the currency symbols to OpenSymbol would provide a
common graphic to style against--and would allow us to localize the button.
Also for locales without single graphical currency symbol, to pre-compose the
preferred currency symbol and use as PUA addressed Unicode.

Think we'd be looking at what ICU provides to parse the font symbols against
the ISO 4217:2015 currency codes and currency number--either getName() or
getSymbol() by locale

http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/numbers

+1 -- as in comment 10, seems to me Unicode already provides the glyphs needed
in a consistent format by font as appropriate per locale to decorate the button
widget with the currency symbol as SVG.  Aren't we already doing similar to
provide the Emoji as thunmbnail views for the Emoji toolbar widget?

The SVG could be styled with stroke & fill color and a line weight appropriate
to blend with the active icon theme.

What we need are ideas for money without localized signs, bills, and coins. And
if we don't find a better icon we should keep the dollar symbol.

Yes many users would prefer to see their local currency symbol used on the
'Format as Currency' button, but i doubt that people are going to spend time
creating icons for each locale and in all icon themes.

The dollar sign is quite universal when it comes to money/currency[1] and is
visible in most keyboard layouts with Shift+4. Many currencies use the dollar
sign as or within their currency symbol[2] and the sign is used by 4 out of the
top 10 traded currencies[3].

Most of the icons either contain a bill or a dollar sign, but lets not forget
that we need something that looks good at large (24x24) and small (16x16) icon
sizes.

> I can’t agree that *coins* aren’t understood as money.

If the coins were clearly seen as coins, like how they look in Galaxy, maybe
people would understand it as money, but unfortunately they arent. And that is
the in case of the large icons (24x24), while the small icons (16x16) are even
more difficult to understand.

No MS Office uses the dollar sign in all Excel versions I have installed (2003,
2007, 2010, 2013).

I've see a few screenshots online of Excel using a paper bill with coins,
though not sure when this would appear.

Google Docs uses a dollar sign[1] and Gnumeric uses paper bill with coins[2].

People do complain about the default icons, but they dont come to bugzilla to
complain about it, as can be seen with our old chart icon in bugs 82272 comment
1. I've heard complaints about the default icons from QA members on IRC as
well, which is why I bothered to improve our default icons[3]. Many users
choose to use another icon theme as they prefer the metaphors used there. Also
the 'Classic' icon theme, which was round in the OOo days, had a dollar sign
next to the coins for easier clarity.

> Nobody else seems to find *coins* (let me stress that again) a
> difficult methaphor to represent *money*.

If it were a single coin icon like this[4] or two coins like this[5], it would
be easier to understand both as a small and large icon, but a stack of coins is
not understandable with our icon sizes and wont be easy to design in other icon
themes like breeze and sifr.

To be honest, that seems overkill to me. Nobody other than Jay has complained
about the default icons after all the time that OOo and LO has been out. Nobody
else seems to find *coins* (let me stress that again) a difficult methaphor to
represent *money*.

@Jay, Eike, Adolfo *

Maybe rather than static list of icons for world currencies, do something
clever and make the button decoration dynamic.

Couldn't we use ICU to assign the ISO 4217 compliant currency for the locale
(document or system) such that its Unicode glyph would become basis of SVG
button decoration?

I can’t agree that *coins* aren’t understood as money. MS Office also uses
coins for this action, so the point is moot even if it weren’t about such an
obvious, straightforward metaphor.

Yes i had changed this to a dollar in 5.1 as the old tango icon of coins arent
understandable and a dollar symbol is universally understood for currency.
Ideally this wouldnt change between locales, but if a locale specific icons is
wanted, they should be added into /icon-themes/tango/cmd/[locale folder]/.

@Adolfo: Would have been nice if you had CCed me on this, before reverting part
of my patch so it could have been discussed. Will you be reverting your patch
or should I?

Hi, Xisco: the above patches only dealt with the Tango theme, but we sill need
updated artwork for the Sifr and Breeze themes. That’s why this bug hasn’t been
closed.

High contrast and Oxygen themes uses coins as currency icon. That report is
valid for Tango, Tango Testing, Breeze, Sifr and Galaxy theme.

It’s meant to be a generic icon, but the generic currency symbol, ¤, is not as
recognizable. Perhaps one can try to draw some nice coins for this icon
instead…
