 * Hi,
 * Sorry for the delay.
    Where do you want to display the currency names? Do you
   want to replace the currency symbols by currency names on frontend?

 * I have a modal popup with the 3 currencies for selection
 * So far I have the ISO code and symbol, but client requests “US Dollar” “Euro”
   written there, and the names displayed are far longer

 * Its completely custom but the switcher is displayed using shortcode
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode('[woocommerce_currency_switcher_link_list]'); ?>`
 * And item format in settings is set to:
 * `%currency_code% %currency_symbol%`
 * If I use
 * `%currency_name%`
 * the names that are displayed look horrible, for example
 * `United States (US) dollar`
 * So I would like to write my own custom name, so it would be
 * `%currency_symbol% %currency_name%`
 * And display
 * `$ Dollar`
 * But I guess it is not possible

 * It certainly is, feel free to set your own class Example: `<a class="cart-custom-
   totals">`appended and design it to match your theme.

 * Thanks but I am not sure I understand your answer. How will setting a class help
   me change the display name of the currency?
