there are many currencies in the world that use the "$" symbol including some that are not even called dollars. Can we make an effort to use ISO currency codes such as USD, CAD, JPY, GBP, EUR et al?
I find it frustrating to see a "deal" from a Canadian origin point only to find that it's actually priced in USD rather than CAD.

Hi BenSinise- Thanks for the input, and I understand your frustration. We mostly cover this in the Premium Fare Deals forum rules: "Try to state the price in the local currency that the ticket is offered in."
It would also seem to go without saying that a deal ex-Canada should be stated in CAD. But not everyone always complies with this as well as we'd like.
Of course we have had feedback from other users - including at least one Canadian - that feel that everything should be posted in USD for easy comparison purposes.
