Don't think so.  They're just pictures next to a number really.  I put 
the international 3 letter currency code in the account name to save 
this sort of trouble.

Just convention.  Here in the UK I say 23 pounds 50 but don't expect the 
pound sign to appear between the pounds and the pence.

Are we talking about a currency that doesn't normally have spots in day 
to day dealing ? i.e. no matter how small the value of something no 
decimals are required?
