I like the idea, but I wouldn't use $ as the indicator as it wouldn't  
localize into the UK (and, for example, the mexican peso wouldn't  
localize into Spain.)  Also the guidelines would have to be written  
for each country.

Another approach might be to store the average price of an entree in  
the local currency.
