Definition: Returns an expression that has been converted to a Variant of subtype Currency.
CCur
Windows PowerShell uses the same data types as the .NET Framework; because the .NET Framework does not support the Currency data type that means Windows PowerShell doesn’t support this data type, either. However, while you cannot convert a variable to the Currency data type you can at least format the value so that it looks like a currency value when displayed onscreen. The following command assigns the value 13 to the variable $a and formats the value so it displays as currency:
$a = "{0:C}" -f 13
This command uses the .NET Framework currency formatting string “{0:C}” to format the value as currency (note that the value to be formatted is included as part of the -f parameter).
When you run the command and then echo back the value of $a you should get the following:
$13.00
