#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>

int main()

	struct lconv *lv;

	setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
	lv = localeconv();
	fprintf (stdout, "Currency symbol for locale: %s\n", lv->currency_symbol);

The patch displays currency symbol as  грн. as per above URL. Not sure if trailing dot is really required.
