Hmm, I get the expected: £12.34 Did you remember to set your browser's preferred locale to "en-GB", or use <fmt:setLocale> with that locale? I get "GBP12.34" only when running on J2SE 1.3, or when running on J2SE 1.4 with a preferred locale other than "en-GB". > This appears to be the case for any currency code I use except USD, when I > see $12.34, as I would expect.

What exactly is the exception you are getting? The tag handler calls java.util.Currency.getInstance() with the specified currency code. This method throws an IllegalArgumentException "if <code>currencyCode</code> is not a supported ISO 4217 code" (quoted from the javadocs). This is what we mention in the "Constraints" section of <fmt:formatNumber>. We do not implement any additional constraints on the currency code.
