> Currency display is a complex topic and currency symbols have a certain amount of range, even within a given currency. It seems like it would be more effective to allow the user agent to localize the display of the currency and its value in a localized manner (noting that the language of the context, such as the web page, where the value is rendered constitutes a locale).
I've tried to clarify this also in https://github.com/w3c/payment-request/pull/942
> Note that some symbols, such as (particularly) $ are ambiguous due to use across a number of different currencies.

In practice, user agents are all including the currency code. Apple Pay actually excludes the symbol entirely, which is probably for the best.
