Currency is a FlexiLayout element that describes numerical values with a fractional part that has either two digits or none. By default, the program allows the - symbol to be substituted for the fractional part; that is, it interprets 12.- as 12.00. The integer part of the number can be divided into digit groups. The default separators of the digit groups are ., ,, ', and a space. The number can have a prefix or a suffix (a text element preceding or following the number). The prefix must be located on the same line as the number. This format is typical for sums of money, where prefixes are the names of currencies. Currency elements are marked with Currency element icon in the FlexiLayout tree.
