[Koha] How to change currency symbol?

[Krishnan M]

While it is true that it is hardcoded in some places (i have noticed it when i glanced through the templates), my understanding is that the currency which has its exchange rate designated as 1 is picked up by Koha as the default currency.
So if you added the Indian rupee, change the exchange rates of other currencies relative to it, and set itself to 1.

i am unable to verify this immediately, but i remember that this has come up on the list before, and perhaps is on the help page as well.
regards,krishnan

True, and there is an open bug report for it, of sorts:

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2547

As I comment in the bug report: it sounds like we need some changes to
the "Currencies and Exchange Rates" interface to enable the
designation of a particular currency as the default. Once we're able
to establish a default currency we could set a system-wide variable
for that currency and modify the templates to include the proper
symbol.
