  ``"decimal_point"` : `string`` | The decimal-point character used to format non-monetary quantities.

  ``"int_curr_symbol"` : `string`` | The international currency symbol applicable to the current locale, left-justified within a four-character space-padded field. The character sequences should match with those specified in ISO 4217 Codes for the Representation of Currency and Funds.
  ``"currency_symbol"` : `string`` | The local currency symbol applicable to the current locale.
  ``"mon_decimal_point"` : `string`` | The decimal point used to format monetary quantities.
  ``"mon_thousands_sep"` : `string`` | The separator for groups of digits to the left of the decimal point in formatted monetary quantities.
  ``"positive_sign"` : `string`` | The string used to indicate a non-negative-valued formatted monetary quantity.
  ``"negative_sign"` : `string`` | The string used to indicate a negative-valued formatted monetary quantity.
  ``"int_frac_digits"` : `int`` | The number of fractional digits (those to the right of the decimal point) to be displayed in an internationally formatted monetary quantity.
  ``"frac_digits"` : `int`` | The number of fractional digits (those to the right of the decimal point) to be displayed in a formatted monetary quantity.
  ``"p_cs_precedes"` : `bool`` | Set to 1 or 0 if the currency_symbol respectively precedes or succeeds the value for a non-negative formatted monetary quantity.
  ``"p_sep_by_space"` : `bool`` | Set to 1 or 0 if the currency_symbol respectively is or is not separated by a space from the value for a non-negative formatted monetary quantity.
  ``"n_cs_precedes"` : `bool`` | Set to 1 or 0 if the currency_symbol respectively precedes or succeeds the value for a negative formatted monetary quantity.
  ``"n_sep_by_space"` : `bool`` | Set to 1 or 0 if the currency_symbol respectively is or is not separated by a space from the value for a negative formatted monetary quantity.

  ``"p_sign_posn"` : `int(0..4)``

  Set to a value indicating the positioning of the positive_sign for a non-negative formatted monetary quantity. The value of p_sign_posn is interpreted according to the following:

  ``0`` | Parentheses surround the quantity and currency_symbol.
  ``1`` | The sign string precedes the quantity and currency_symbol.
  ``2`` | The sign string succeeds the quantity and currency_symbol.
  ``3`` | The sign string immediately precedes the currency_symbol.
  ``4`` | The sign string immediately succeeds the currency_symbol.

  ``"n_sign_posn"` : `int`` | Set to a value indicating the positioning of the negative_sign for a negative formatted monetary quantity. The value of n_sign_posn is interpreted according to the rules described under p_sign_posn.
