problem with showing currency

Hi everyone
could any one please help me to sort the currency type I tried to to use NumberFormat using the getCurrencyInstance(); to get Total but gave me I IIR for currency but I want $ or £ the following is wat i tried

Code:

---

//programe to print local curency
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
public class LocalCurrency
{
        public static void main (String[] args)
        {
                Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
                NumberFormat currency = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
                String niceTotal;
                double total,quantity,unitPrice,amount;
                boolean taxable;
                System.out.println("Please enter quantity");
               
                quantity = myScanner.nextDouble();
                System.out.println("Please enter unit price");
                unitPrice = myScanner.nextDouble();
                amount = unitPrice * quantity;
                System.out.println("Is taxable? Yes/no");
                taxable= myScanner.nextBoolean();
               
               
                if (taxable = true)
                {
                        total = amount * 1.5;       
                }
                else
                {
                        total = amount;
                }
                System.out.println(total);
                niceTotal=currency.format(total);
                System.out.println(niceTotal);
    }
}

You mean something like:

Code:

---

System.out.print(Currency.getInstance(Locale.getDefault()).getSymbol());
