Test code based on the java.util.Currency.getInstance() code:

                Locale[] allLocales = Locale.getAvailableLocales();
                for(int i = 0; i < allLocales.length; i++) {
                        System.out.print("Locale # " + Integer.toString(i));
                        Currency test = Currency.getInstance(allLocales[i]);
                        if (test == null) {
                                System.out.println("Not supported");
                        } else {
                                System.out.println(test.getCurrencyCode());
                        }
                }

shows classpath supports only "USD" and "DEM" while the respective locales code
those as "$" and "DM" (the latter hasn't been in use for ages and should
probably be replaced with EUR, unless this is still needed for some legacy
compatibility); therefore Currency.getInstance() will just throw an
IllegalArgumentException for all locales (at least all locales included in
classpath)
