Why isn't my Hong Kong currency displaying correctly?

Product: SC + TX
Version: 5.0.x
Platform: ALL

I'd like to use Hong Kong currency. However, I'm having trouble adding it to my new store.

Possible problems:

1. In the wizard on the "Step 1 - Storefront" page the currency for the store will contain garbled text or not contain a value.
2. The settings under Preferences > Locale default to another currency rather than the Hong Kong option selected during my install.

ShopSite 5.0 Currency.dat contains an incorrect Hong Kong $ format string:
#|HKD|Hong Kong dollar|HK$|($#,###.##)||
|HTG|Hong Kong dollar|HK$|($#,###.##)||

To correct, the currency.dat file in the ShopSite CGI (ss) directory should be edited to:

|HKD|Hong Kong dollar|HK$|($#,###.##)||
#|HTG|Hong Kong dollar|HK$|($#,###.##)||

After this correction is made, select the desired currency under Preferences > Locale in ShopSite and save and publish changes.
