CCurrency::GetCurrency(
string currency
);
The method GetCurrency returns an array of the language independent
parameters of a currency by its identifier. The method is similar to CCurrency::GetByID
except the fact that the GetCurrency result is cached. Therefore, the
repeated calls with the same currency identifier within the same page does not
incur extra queries to the database.
