Cifrão

The currency notation, used for the Cape Verdean escudo, where the "$" sits in the decimal position: 1 234$56.

Definition

The cifrão places the dollar-sign glyph as the decimal separator rather than as a leading symbol. Cape Verde renders escudos this way. It is a good example of why formatting cannot be assumed from the currency code alone.
