Multiple currencies are not supported

Numeral-js currently has locality and currency coupled together.

It assumes that if I speak a particular language, that I want all of my Numeral objects to be my native currency in my language’s format.

In reality, I want to have many Numeral objects of varying currencies displayed to me in my language’s format:

> numeral.language();
"en"
> numeral(1000.23).format('$0,0.00 C'); // defaults to 'USD' because of locality
"$1,000.23 USD"
> numeral(1000.23, 'CAD').format('$0,0.00');
"$1,000.23"
> numeral(1000.23, 'EUR').format('$0,0.00');
"€1,000.23"
> numeral(1000.23, 'EUR').format('0,0.00 C');
"1,000.23 EUR"

> numeral.language('fr');
> numeral(1000.23).format('$0,0.00'); // defaults to 'EUR' because of locality
"€1 000,23"
> numeral(1000.23, 'USD').format('$0,0.00');
"$1 000,23"
> numeral(1000.23, 'USD').format('$0,0.00 C');
"$1 000,23 USD" 
> numeral(1000.23, 'CAD').format('$0,0.00');
"$1 000,23"
> numeral(1000.23, 'EUR').format('$0,0.00');
"€1 000,23"
> numeral(1000.23, 'EUR').format('0,0.00 C');
"1 000,23 EUR"

Essentially my language setting should dictate format, and currency should dictate the symbol.

Formatting for users locale didn’t meet our requirement (needed to show different formatting simultaneously.)

We ended up rolling our own currency formatting solution. It’s pretty simple really.

We are in the same boat, using locale to switch currency symbol is such an odd behavior. We have a need to show multiple currencies on the same page. It absolutely should not be switched by user’s locale. We had to use another formatting solution which is unfortunate.
