[Seaside] Money ScaledDecimal is it really *appropriate* ?

[Dmitry Dorofeev]

Thanks Avi,

I just wondering can I use 
Money amount: 15.89 currency: '£'

to use with HTML rendering (same applies to Euro sign)

or do we need just different method to rendering HTML friendly
version of currency symbols based on name of currency ?
like Dictionary with
'USD' -> $
'GBP' -> '£'
'EUR' -> '€'
etc 

-Dmitry.
