/**
 * <p>
 * <b>Currency Validation</b> and Conversion routines (<code>java.math.BigDecimal</code>).
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * This is one implementation of a currency validator that has the following features:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>It is <i>lenient</i> about the the presence of the <i>currency symbol</i></li>
 * <li>It converts the currency to a <code>java.math.BigDecimal</code></li>
 * </ul>
 * 
 * <p>
 * However any of the <i>number</i> validators can be used for <i>currency</i> validation. For example, if you wanted a
 * <i>currency</i> validator that converts to a <code>java.lang.Integer</code> then you can simply instantiate an
 * <code>IntegerValidator</code> with the appropriate <i>format type</i>:
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * <code>... = new IntegerValidator(false, IntegerValidator.CURRENCY_FORMAT);</code>
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Pick the appropriate validator, depending on the type (e.g Float, Double, Integer, Long etc) you want the currency converted
 * to. One thing to note - only the CurrencyValidator implements <i>lenient</i> behaviour regarding the currency symbol.
 * </p>
