Usually currency symbols are written before the numerical figure. However in some cases it is written on the right side, for example, Swedish Krona. RepairDesk will put currency symbol on the left side by default. However if you want the currency symbol to be placed on right side, just enable the trigger "Symbol on Right".

Currencies also have their respective ISO Numeric Codes. Mention the ISO code for your currency in the relevant field.
Once all relevant information has been added, click on Create (button) to add currency.
