English Currency Types
Many countries, including the US and Canada use $ as the symbol for their
currency. $ therefore is a generic symbol used when a spreadsheet only considers one dollar-denominated currency. If a spreadsheet is contemplating an investment of American dollars in a Canadian company, then you need separate symbols to differentiate between the two countries' currency. Just wait till you have a model contemplating Australian, Singaporean, American, and Canadian equities. Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit.
