@ page 140 line 4787 section LC_MONETARY comment {aj.4217.interp}

Problem:

Defect code :  3. Clarification required

Is an implementation that limits the allowed int_currency_symbol
in the LC_MONETARY locale category to a subset of those defined
in ISO 4217  POSIX compliant? For example an implementation that
limits the allowed int_currency_symbol to just those valid currencies
for cash transactions.

Action:

The standard is clear, such an implementation is non-conforming. 

POSIX states that the int_currency_symbol can take any of the
values defined in ISO 4217 and does not define a subset
of the symbols. All currency symbols defined in ISO 4217 
shall be accepted  by POSIX conforming implementations.
