None of the Fortran compilers I use offer currency editing in the

something strange happened since; I'm sure I don't like the way it's
going...

PL/I originally had a format for printing pounds, shillings,
and pence. Since England doesn't use that anymore, I think it
has been removed from more recent compilers.

(It was a special case of the Picture format, which would also
be useful for other currency formatting. I believe, including
a floating currency symbol.)
