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

Currency currency = Currency.getInstance("USD");
System.out.println(currency.getSymbol());
System.out.println(currency.getSymbol(Locale.CANADA));
System.out.println(currency.getSymbol(new Locale("en","AU")));
 
in the above mentioned SOPs, the value returned is $, US$ and USD respectively.

  Fix for a previous BUG ID 6573250 was released so now it returns US$ for CANADA locale however I understand when the locale is Australia, it should also return US$ NOT USD

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Currency currency = Currency.getInstance("USD");
System.out.println(currency.getSymbol());
System.out.println(currency.getSymbol(Locale.CANADA));
System.out.println(currency.getSymbol(new Locale("en","AU")));



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

ACTUAL -

Actual
$
US$
USD

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
