How in a script can you find the currency of a user (not the current one)

Hi there,
Although I can see how to find the currency of the currently logged in user I cannot seem to find any way of getting in a script the currency of user X where x is some other user.
The reason I need this is so that each Approver gets the cost details in their own currency in the email they receive - as far as I can see the system currency seems to apply in emails. The requirement is that these approvals will be handled totally within emails and so the approver will not click a link (which would allow them to see the amount in their own currency) and so needs to see the right currency in the email.

I feel sure I am missing something here so any pointers will be very much appreciated and thanks in advance.

You need to add "country code" to the user form. They can then change their currency to their local one.

Sorry Peter,
Country code is already on the form and set for most users BUT (and I apologise if I am being very slow here) how in a script can I get the country code to give me the currency so I can look up the exchange rate table?
As far as I can see the currency code is NOT the same as the country code and so I cannot see how to know which currency to use.


I am on my iPad at the mo and can't check. I'll be home a bit later and post up again if someone else hasn't.
