What is the difference between Currency and Accounting number format in
Excel. (Recent release.)
 
Accounting format aligns all the dollar signs at the left edge of the cell,
Currency aligns them next to the number.
Accounting shows a dash for zero value, Currency shows a n actual zero.
 
Mainly in how zero shows.
Currency: 0.00
Accounting: -

the real difference is
Currency has: #,##0.00_);(#,##0.00)
Accounting has: _(* #,##0.00_);_(* (#,##0.00);_(* "-"??_);_(@_)
