similar to: number_to_currency

I work in the UK and therefore most of my currency figures will be in UK pounds.

What is the best way to do that? Should I edit line 39 of this file:

I was wondering if this is possible. I have a model (Item) that contains products. These products have prices that I''d like to format using number_to_currency. Rather than doing this several times inside the view, I thought it might be nice to do it once inside the model. The item table has an field called regular_price which holds a currency amount.

Hi Gurus, I have a class, specified in models cart.rb, which doesn''t inherit from anything--it''s just a container class Cart ... I just discovered I can''t call number_to_currency in that class.

I was trying to write a wrapper for number_to_currency to return currency in pounds. I used a helper class to do this. def number_to_pounds(amt) number_to_currency(amt, :unit => "£") end This works fine, but I am trying to understand why I can''t use a symbol to pass the values.
