Why am I getting (US$) and not ($) about handlebars-intl HOT 6 OPEN

@rochapablo did you have any luck solving this? I'm having the same issue.

@gregholland, nop. I kind give up for now. I'm working in other areas and I'll let this for later.

Honestly I don't think this issue has to do with this lib. Under the hood it uses the browsers intl API which is what is using US$ instead of $. So likely in testing this is the browser using a different locale than en-US. You can see in the polyfill what I mean: https://github.com/andyearnshaw/Intl.js/search?p=19&q=%22US%24%22&type=&utf8=%E2%9C%93

Oh and the formats part of the intl file is mostly for shorthand.. so instead of typing {{formatNumber fooNum style="currency" currency="USD"}} with a format you can just do {{formatNumber fooNum "bar"}} where

var intlData = {
    "locales": "en-US",
    "formats": {
        "number": {
            "bar": {
                "style": "currency",
                "currency": "USD"
            }
        }
    }
};

I honestly can't find good reason to use them.. seems hard to maintain.

I was able to solve the problem using singular 'locale' form:
{{formatNumber price style="currency" currency="USD" locale="en-US"}}

Need to use currencyDisplay: 'narrowSymbol' to display $ instead of US$ . Please refer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52410407/intl-numberformat-currency-us-currency-symbol
