Remove CA from before the $ in magento

Question

I am working on a magento site for Canada and so there is currently a CA$ before any price and we would like it just to appear as $. Is there a setting somewhere I can change to alter this without going through all of the code and doing it individually?

Answer 1

Look in the directory /lib/Zend/Locale/Data and find the XML file for your locale. If you're using the default local then I believe the file you want is en.xml. Around line 5623 is the configuration for CAD currency. Just change the symbol from CA$ to $.
