Hi guys,
I am having a problem with my system. I installed Makulu Linux and let
it upgrade and ended up with Debian 8.
The problem is that even though LC_MONETARY="en_AU.utf-8" I get all
currency in chrome converted to euros. Is there another setting I may
have missed?

That should be LC_MONETARY="en_AU.utf8" which is what exists on the
system. The extra hyphen was a typo!
Sick of seeing everything translated to euros. Any clues on what to
change in my settings to get AU$.

Hi Heracles,

Did you check whether your chrome browser does not have any automatic
currency converters plugins enabled by navigating to your chrome to:
chrome://plugins/

That was, indeed, the problem. I didn't remember loading it but I have
now removed it completely and all is well again.
Thanks Lubos
