This is as per doc?

FloatToStrF(Argument,ffGeneral,Precision,3)
M Currency format. the next argument in the var{Args} array must be a
floating point value. The argument is converted to a decimal string using
currency notation. This means that fixed-point notation is used, but that
the currency symbol is appended. If precision is specified, then then it
overrides the CurrencyDecimals global variable used in the FloatToStrF
In short, the M specifier formats it's argument as follows:
FloatToStrF(Argument,ffCurrency,9999,Precision)
Note the /append/ :-)
