Permits setting up the currency entries made with the currency key.
Thus, currencies which are not represented directly on the keyboard can still be made single key entries. The major and minor denominations are carried as the upper and lower case currency key entries.
Major currency (notes key) Enter up to three alphanumeric characters as major currency.
Minor currency (coins key) Enter up to three alphanumeric characters as minor currency.
