The weekend (red wine) hit me so I might wait 'till Monday ;-)

That would be great. I now have ~200 lines of code just to deal with that and 
if that could be limited to a few KLocale calls - sweet.

The class I'm currently using is a _very_ stripped down version of one I I 
found somewhere on Google Code. I accidentally deleted the link - gotta give 
the proper credits (Python lingo).

class Currency:
    code = "XXX"
    country = ""
    countries = []
    name = ""
    numeric = "999"
    symbol = None

    def __init__(self, code="", numeric="999", name="", countries=[], 
symbol=None):
        self.code = code
        self.numeric = numeric
        self.name = name
        self.countries = countries
        self.symbol = symbol

    def __repr__(self):
        return self.code

    def get_symbol(self):
        if self.symbol == None:
            return self.code
        else:
            return self.symbol


From the top of my head it would be nice to have a national flag as well. Is 
that in KLocale already?
