If you just have the currency symbol and the number of decimal places  you can use the following helper function  which respects the symbol amount order  separators etc  only changing the currency symbol itself and the number of decimal places to display to   public static string FormatCurrency string currencySymbol  Decimal currency  int decPlaces        NumberFormatInfo localFormat    NumberFormatInfo NumberFormatInfo CurrentInfo Clone        localFormat CurrencySymbol   currencySymbol      localFormat CurrencyDecimalDigits   decPlaces      return currency ToString  c   localFormat

The problem with taking a given number and displaying it with  ToString  C   culture  is that it effectively changes the amount to the default currency of the given culture  If you have a given amount  the ISO currency code of that amount  and you want to display it for a given culture  I would recommend just creating a decimal extension method like the one below  This will not automatically assume that the currency is in the default currency of the culture   public static string ToFormattedCurrencyString      this decimal currencyAmount      string isoCurrencyCode  CultureInfo userCulture        var userCurrencyCode   new RegionInfo userCulture Name  ISOCurrencySymbol       if  userCurrencyCode    isoCurrencyCode                return currencyAmount ToString  C   userCulture              return string Format            0   1             isoCurrencyCode           currencyAmount ToString  N2   userCulture        This will either use the local currency symbol or the ISO currency code with the amount -- whichever is more appropriate  More on the topic in this blog post

Try the Currency Format Specifier   C    It automatically takes the current UI culture into account and displays currency values accordingly   You can use it with either String Format or the overloaded ToString method for a numeric type   For example   double value   12345 6789  Console WriteLine value ToString  C   CultureInfo CurrentCulture     Console WriteLine value ToString  C3   CultureInfo CurrentCulture     Console WriteLine value ToString  C3   CultureInfo CreateSpecificCulture  da-DK          The example displays the following output on a system whose    current culture is English  United States             12 345 68           12 345 679          kr 12 345 679
