Hey,

I have no idea but for some reason number\_to\_currency doesn’t work in my  
application.

\<%= number\_to\_currency(50, :unit =\> “£”, :separator =\> “,”,  
:delimiter =\> “”, :format =\> “%n %u”) %\>

returns

50

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Works for me on 2.3.2. What version/platform/etc.? Any other relevant  
details you can share?

Hey,

Rails 2.2.2  
ruby 1.8.6

following plugins installed:  
acts\_as\_tree  
annotate\_models  
calendar\_date\_select  
enum-column  
globalize2

Do you need to know anything else?

Have you tried disabling one plugin at a time (I’m going to guess  
globalize2) ?

The application doesn’t work (500 errror) anymore if I temporarily  
delete the globalize2 folder in plugins.

My I18n.load\_path was overridden and number\_to\_currency apparently needs  
something from it. After I removed that line everything worked like a  
charm 🙂

I couldn’t find any “number\_to\_currency” in globalize2 (besides two  
calls in a test) so how could globalize2 possibibly have an effect on  
it?
