Does not support paste of monetary values about calculator HOT 7 CLOSED

Awesome! Thanks for taking a look. At a minimum, I think we should support trimming the currency symbols supported by the Windows keyboard:

• yen or yuan (¥)
• unspecified currency sign (¤)
• Ghanaian cedi (₵)
• dollar or peso ($)
• colón (₡)
• won (₩)
• shekel (₪)
• naira (₦)
• Indian rupee (₹)
• pound (£)
• euro (€)

Hi I can take this one but can you clarify which currency symbols should be trimmed away? Should all world currency symbols be trimmed and if so is there an official world currency list that should be used for reference?

It should also trim commas, ex. 123,456.78.

I believe commas are already trimmed but are then formatted back in at some point. I'm having troubles finding where that is done at the moment. For example if you type in 1000 it will get formatted to 1,000.

@grochocki, I have a question about the behavior here. When pasted into Currency Converter, it feels like the units should be switched to the same monetary unit. Separate issue or same?

@danbelcher-MSFT I like the idea, but let's treat that as a separate issue.
