Summary:  Currency formatting lacks support for variability based on value

Original Submission:  Some currencies (e.g. the Indian rupee) use a different 
currency symbol depending on the value being formatted.  At present, this can 
not be implemented, as there is no support in the design of the formatting 
classes (specifically java.text.DecimalFormat) for handling this.  The currency 
symbol is added during interpretation of the pattern, rather than when the 
number is formatted.
