Edited down and re-ordered slightly: 

 <p>When displaying a monetary value, it is
            RECOMMENDED that user agents display the currency code and OPTIONAL for user agents to display a currency symbol. Note that            currency symbols can be ambiguous due to use across a number of
            different currencies (e.g., "$" could mean any of USD, AUD, NZD,
            CAD, and so on.). User agent that display currency symbols MAY use U+00A4 (¤) when a currency symbol is not  available.
</p>
<p>User agents MAY format the display of the
            {{PaymentCurrencyAmount/currency}} member to adhere to OS
            conventions (e.g., for localization purposes).
