Is the type of currency capitalized Dollars Pesos Yen etc.?
Currencies should not be capitalized. So it is dollars, euros, yen, etc. However, if the name of the county is included in the name of the currency, that part of the name is capitalized, and you therefore have the Swiss franc or the Zimbabwe dollar. If the title of the country is inferred, TT dollar (Trinidad and Tobago dollar), CFA franc (Central African Republic franc), it is also capitalized. (Source: The Economist Style Guide.)
