Decimal separator and monetary decimal separator differ for certain locales.
However NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance() produces format that uses
decimal separator instead of monetary decimal separator.
As result JDK1.2 fails to pass the following JCK1.2 test cases:

api/java_util/localeData/secondaryLocale.html#de_CH
api/java_util/localeData/secondaryLocale.html#pt_PT

See example for de_CH(German-Swtzerland) localization below.
--------------output----------------
failed: return: Fr. #'##0,00;Fr.-#'##0,00 instead Fr. #'##0.00;Fr.-#'##0.00

--------------DE_CH_fails.java--------------------
import java.util.Locale;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;

class DE_CH_fails {
    public static void main(String argv[]) {
Locale de = new Locale("de", "CH");
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(de);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;

if ( df.toLocalizedPattern().equals("Fr. #'##0.00;Fr.-#'##0.00")) {
System.out.println("OK");
} else {
System.out.println("failed: return: "+
df.toLocalizedPattern() + " instead " +
"Fr. #'##0.00;Fr.-#'##0.00");
}
    }
}
