I recently noticed that in coin prices for default EUR currency was added € symbol.
Can you please add symbols for other currencies that have them?
I changed my currency to RUB and now I see prices again without currency, but I always think it's in euros as I am used to it always showing in euros.
for RUB it's ₽
Hello,
I added the symbol ₽ for RUB. The currency code is anyway always mentioned below the table.

Thanks! Yes, now I see it.

BTW I noticed that in catalog with "fast input" enabled prices are shown differently, with decimal point and with no currency.
Is there a good reason to add a currency symbol when you personally have selected your currency in the options?
To me it looks like they just waste limited space and force rounding.

​I dunno. Maybe it's good if you've forgotten what currency you have chosen. ;) And if the alternative is the ISO code, it's definitely better with a symbol.

Well, my currency don't even have a fancy symbol, so I'm not really affected by the "problem".

I just thought it could be handy to have them all in one place if someone what's to use it. :°

I hadn't even noticed the forced rounding before! And already don't like it. Ugh.
Prices above 10 are rounded because the Numista estimate is not precise enough. There is no point of showing a price like $20.46 when the real value is likely to be anywhere between $16 and $24.
I'm interested to know why you don't like it.

​This is a fair point.
