Enhancement - Taking the $ off the currency options

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I make a currency field the person who's filling it out can only know it's 
for currency if there's a $ in front of the field. When the form is submitted a 
second $ sign shows up with the numbers. Can we have an option that doesn't 
have a $ sign?

We've never heard of people filling out a form needing to have a '$' in the 
prompt to know if it's an amount or not. Normally, the field should be clear 
that it is an amount. The user can enter an amount as 45.50 or $45.50, for 
example and it will work fine.

If you don't want dollar signs, you have two options:
1) Use Decimal instead of Money.
2) For your deployment, we can add a non-dollar sign version in the money 
formats.

This is not an enhancement request we will work.
