Hi all,

A recent discussion with a travelling friend has sparked some ideas
about a microformat for displaying prices and other currency-based
figures.

The classic problem example would be a page stating a price of "$50".
Is that Australian dollars? US dollars? Monopoly money? :)

So anyway I'm following The Process
(http://microformats.org/wiki/process) and I'm up to searching for
existing formats/work. So far I've only seen the ISO standard for
three-letter codes, no format or microformat for consistently
displaying them.

Does anyone know of relevant resources I should check out?

It'd be interesting to see how e-commerce sites do this. Especially sites like amazon which have seperate stores in different languages and currencies. Try documenting their markup on http:// microformats.org/wiki/currency-examples .

thanks,
ryan
