[tintou]

In some locales, the $ should appear right after the amount.

I'm kind of against this. The currency is currently always US dollars, and should be formatted as such.

I understand, but in France we write 25 000 $ even for $. So it makes sense for me.

Currency is locale specific and should be formatted as such.

Maybe @emersion can use the current list of languages to figure out if a user needs it shifting to the right. I'll leave this open as a wishlist item for now, but it isn't a huge priority, since it's still clearly understandable.

• Russian locale, we have $ sign (aswell as all other currencies signs) after the ammount.

I think, that user should have a choice: he prefers to donate $ or he prefers to donate his local currency. Just like I said here https://github.com/elementary/mvp/issues/417
