Public bug reported:

Recently on Google Plus, Michael Hall published an image with his paid app(1). I'm basing this bug report on that image and comments under MIchael's post(2).
You can see there's „US$2.99” text on the button and under his name. „US$” is not a valid currency code according to ISO 4217 standard(3). It is rather a currency symbol(4). 
In the G+ comments Michael mentioned there are also „EUR” and „GBP”. They both are currency codes.

It would be nice if only one system was used consequently in the Ubuntu
Store across all possible currencies. I'm all for using ISO 4217
standard.
