Dollar sign in currency fields give error.

Dollar sign in currency fields give error.

Does it makes sense that we cannot include a $ in a USD currency field?
I think it is common sense that a $ could be a valid character in USD currency field.
What is the point of a currency field if the server is not smart enough to handle a dollar sign?
This is very frustrating to my customers. (not to mention it cannot even handle a comma ,)



Seriously, why would you use a currency field?
