"FormatCurr formats the currency Value according to the formatting rule in Format, and returns the resulting string."

here <Format> refers to the parameter format, not the function, as you seemed to surmise.

Yet the next sentence in Help
"For an explanation of the formatting characters, see FormatFloat. "

Should have given you a clue.

Well, I have adapted the text so it is less ambiguous.

Werner has given you a example of what to code.
