 * Hi guys,
 * Im running the latest version of wordpress and added a custom currency to my 
   site. However, this plugin shows the currency as “$”.
 * Any idea on how to fix this? it seems this plugin is outdated and no longer updated.
   I wonder if it could be a compatibility issue?
 * thanks in advance for any help!

 * The Delivery Notes plugin seems ot be fine. It’s possible that the currency you
   added has a dollar symbol too, or perhaps its symbol is not supported by WooCommerce
   and it defaults to “$”.
 * I don’t know which currency plugin you use, our Currency Switcher allows to specify
   the symbol in the plugin settings, so that it comes out the way you like it. 
   Perhaps the plugin you use has a similar feature.

 * Yes, my custom currency does have a $ symbol. Infact, the full currency symbol
   is N$
 * Please tell me how i can work around this? is there a solution?
 * thank you

 * I have tried this as well, and I have no problems. Thing to consider: only new
   orders are registered with this currency. If you take an order that was charged
   in Euros, it will stay that way as changing the currency symbol would mean you
   have to change the amounts as well.
 * How did you register your custom currency?
 * What I did was add this to my functions.php:
 *     ```
       function add_my_currency( $currencies ) {
       	$currencies['ND'] = __( 'Namibian Dollar', 'woocommerce' );
   
       	return $currencies;
       }
       add_filter( 'woocommerce_currencies', 'add_my_currency' );
   
       function add_my_currency_symbol( $currency_symbol, $currency ) {
       	switch ( $currency ) {
       		case 'ND':
       			$currency_symbol = 'N$';
   
       			break;
       	}
   
       	return $currency_symbol;
       }
       add_filter( 'woocommerce_currency_symbol', 'add_my_currency_symbol', 10, 2 );
       ```
   
 * It was inspired from this page: [https://docs.woothemes.com/document/add-a-custom-currency-symbol/](https://docs.woothemes.com/document/add-a-custom-currency-symbol/)
 * Let me know if this solves your problem 🙂
