Haha. To be honest, I doubt its intentional, Lloyds don't put the currency code or even the language on their Amex cards as well as their MasterCards. I know this because when I go abroad, the terminal often asks me the language, whereas with other Amex cards the transaction just shows up in English.
I don't know if it would legally questionable for banks for consumers to be able to opt out of DCC though.
