iPhone: How to get local currency symbol (i.e. “$” instead of “AU$”)

by 
NSNumberFormatter *currencyFormatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[currencyFormatter setLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];
[currencyFormatter setMaximumFractionDigits:2];
[currencyFormatter setMinimumFractionDigits:2];
[currencyFormatter setAlwaysShowsDecimalSeparator:YES];
[currencyFormatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];

NSNumber *someAmount = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:5.00];    
NSString *string = [currencyFormatter stringFromNumber:someAmount];

You will receive $5.00 for US, ¥5.00 for Japan, 5.00€ for Europe, etc.
