Description acoffee 2003-02-01 08:20:48 UTC 
Under regional settings (and spreadsheet cell's format), the currency for
Colombia (currency code COP) should be simply "$" instead of "C$"
Comment 1 acoffee 2003-02-01 08:22:14 UTC 
This is similar to #6478 but it's not a duplicate (different country ;)
Comment 2 zridling 2003-02-02 04:54:22 UTC 
True, this is incorrect and shows up as C$ instead of $.

@Jorge: Are you sure that it's only "$"? It is listed as "Col$" at the
following pages:
http://geo.ya.com/travelimages/currencies-cf.html
http://www.globalwebarch.com/freesite/RDBMS-GG-C04-5.html
http://home1.gte.net/gomezedg/Economy.htm

However, the ICU Locale Repository lists it as "$" in the various
formats under http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/locale/
I tend to believe that.
Comment 5 acoffee 2003-02-25 12:14:18 UTC 
They probably list it as col$ because the name of the currency (peso)
could be confused with a number of countries who also use it. But
inside the country it's never used like that; not on financial
reports, or newspapers... nowhere. The currency symbol for us is plain $.
