[Lazarus] whats wrong with that line of code?

[John Landmesser]

A) thank you guys!!!

B) Werner Pamler ...

Fazit: ... so its not possible to get the currency symbol  € using 
FormatCurr, that what i learned so far?!!

i was wrong interpreting the function name as delivering a formatted 
number plus(!!) the currency symbol!
