A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If locale is the default locale, US, then the symbol "$" is returned. However,
there are other locales that also have the "$" as their currency. These locales
need to differentiate the American dollar using "US$". Currently, "USD" is
returned.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
$
US$
ACTUAL -
$
USD

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
