[OM] Use of currency symbols

Dear All,

May I suggest avoiding currency symbols in your posts when referring to
prices? They tend to be a problem on some PCs - the pound symbol, for
example, appears on my screen as =A3 or some similar gibberish. The
dollar symbol might be universally OK, as far as I know, but others
ain't. I think it's better to use the international three-letter
abbreviations (e.g. USD, AUD, GBP, ... etc) to avoid ambiguity. 

Regards,
