How to show right currency symbol as per current culture set

i search and i got few more different type of code to achieve the same

here code is

One solution
-------------
var amount = 123.45M;
var cultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("da-DK");
var formattedAmount = String.Format(cultureInfo, "{0:C}", amount);
Console.WriteLine(formattedAmount);
2nd one
----------
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("de");
// pretend we are german
var nfi = (NumberFormatInfo)NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Clone();
nfi.CurrencySymbol = "$$$";
Console.WriteLine(string.Format(nfi,"{0:c}",345.10));
This will output:
345,10 $$$
Without changing the CurrentCulture it outputs (for me):
$$$345.10
3rd
----
CultureInfo us = new CultureInfo("en-US");
// Display i formatted as currency for us.
Console.WriteLine(i.ToString("c", us));
4th
----
var ri = new RegionInfo(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.LCID);
Console.WriteLine(ri.ISOCurrencySymbol);
OR
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol
5th
---
decimal dec = 123.00M;
string uk = dec.ToString("C", new CultureInfo("en-GB"); // uk holds "£123.00"
string us = dec.ToString("C", new CultureInfo("en-US"); // us holds "$123.00"
OR
hread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-GB",false);
Console.WriteLine("bbbbbbb {0:c}",4321.2);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US",false);
Console.WriteLine("bbbbbbb {0:c}",4321.2);
OR
@String.Format(new CultureInfo("en-US"), "{0:C}", @price)
OR
@String.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, "{0:C}", @price)
6th

Accepted answer
string itemPrice = "101.45";
            System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB");
            Console.WriteLine("Current Culture is : " + System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name);
            Console.WriteLine("Item price with currency symbol is : " + itemPrice + System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.CurrencySymbol);
            Console.ReadKey();
