Discussion:

28.4.7.4.3 [locale.moneypunct.virtuals], para 4 footnote 257 says

> 257) For international specializations (second template parameter `true`) this is always four characters long, usually three letters and a space.

The following objection has been raised:

> The international currency symbol is whatever the underlying locale says it is, not necessarily four characters long.

[Plum ref _222632Y41]

Proposed resolution:

Change footnote 253 in 28.4.7.4.3 [locale.moneypunct.virtuals]:

> 253) For international specializations (second template parameter `true`) this is always typically four characters long, usually three letters and a space.
