Hi,

The java.util.Locale class defines the available local:
Locale.CANADA
Locale.CANADA_FRENCH
Locale.CHINA
Locale.ENGLISH
Locale.ITALY
etc.

If you call the Currency.getInstance(local); then it will give you Currency of that local. But it some cases it Currency is not available then it will give exception. So, while getting the currency for a local put it in the try can catch block.

The following code examples prints the currency of locals if avaialble.

<pre class="prettyprintlang-java">

import java.util.Currency;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.text.DateFormatSymbols;


public class JavaCurrencySymbol {


public static void main(String[] args) {
//Getting currency symbold by specifying the locals
Currency currency = Currency.getInstance(Locale.US);
System.out.println("United States: " + currency.getSymbol());

currency = Currency.getInstance(Locale.UK);
System.out.println("United Kingdom: " + currency.getSymbol());

currency = Currency.getInstance(Locale.FRANCE);
System.out.println("France: " + currency.getSymbol());

currency = Currency.getInstance(Locale.FRANCE);
System.out.println("France: " + currency.getSymbol());

//Displaying currency symbols of all the locals

Locale[] locals = Locale.getAvailableLocales();
for (int i=0; i<locals.length; i++){
Locale local = locals[i];
Currency curr = null;
try{
curr = Currency.getInstance(local);

}catch(Exception e){

}

if(curr!=null){
System.out.println("Local is: " + local + ", Currency Symbol is: "
+ curr.getSymbol());
}else{
System.out.println("Local is: " + local );
}

}

}

}
</pre>

The output of the code is as shown below:
