Bug Description

Currently, when setting a column to a dollar currency, you can select from a range of options such as US Dollar, NZ Dollar, Canadian Dollar etc. But the US Dollar is not prefixed with US. All the other dollar currencies get prefixed with their country. NZ$, CA$ etc.

This is problematic for two reasons:

It is US centric, but a globally available software. If you do not live in the US, you must select US Dollar to get an unprefixed currency. (non-US countries don't prefix their dollar symbol in general use in their own country)
There's no way to explicitly / obviously mark something as a US dollar when also talking about other dollars. I use multiple currencies and need to be able to easily differentiate them, including the US dollar.

How to Reproduce

In a grid, set a column property to Number, then select a Dollar type.

Expected Behavior

There should be a generic "Dollar" option and a "US Dollar" option. The former should be unprefixed, the latter should be prefixed with "US"

I wouldn't take the approach of using the user's locale as that is a) changeable and b) not necessarily as explicit as the user may want. (though it would be a fine default)

Operating System

MacOS
