Suggestion for future Java Modifications : Separate the Currency from Locale
Class/NumberFormat.

Reason:
Merchants may be in one country but trade in many different currencies, or the
merchant may be in one country but trade in a different currency. Currently if
we assign a locale to a merchant, the locale limits the merchant to one
currency format. We effectively can't use the merchant's locale to print the
currency.

It is not logical to pass a locale to Number format, it is more logical to pass
a currency object...
