# localizedCurrency(code:locale:) Creates a regex component that matches a localized currency string, capturing it as a decimal value. ``` static func localizedCurrency(code: Locale.Currency, locale: Locale) -> Self ``` ## Parameters `code` The currency code that indicates the currency symbol or name to match against. `locale` The locale that specifies formatting conventions to use when matching currency strings. ## Return Value A `RegexComponent` that matches localized currency substrings as [`Int`](/documentation/Swift/Int) instances. ## Discussion This method matches currency substrings in accordance with the provided currency code and locale. For example, the currency code `USD` matches U.S. dollars, which use the symbol `$`, and `JPY` matches Japanese yen, which use the symbol `¥`. The locale determines formatting conventions for number separators in the currency value. The regex uses both of these to match currency substrings. The method preserves fractional parts in currency strings. To match currency strings without fractional parts, you may use [`localizedIntegerCurrency(code:locale:)`](/documentation/Swift/RegexComponent/localizedIntegerCurrency(code:locale:)) to capture integer values. The following example creates a [`Regex`](/documentation/Swift/Regex) that matches a date and time followed by whitespace and a currency value that uses U.S. dollars and the `en_US` locale. It then matches this regex against a source string containing a date with this format, some whitespace, and a currency value in dollars. ``` let enUSLocale = Locale(languageCode: .english, languageRegion: .unitedStates) let source = "7/31/2022, 5:15:12 AM $39,739.45" let matcher = Regex { One(.dateTime(date: .numeric, time: .standard, locale: enUSLocale, timeZone: TimeZone(identifier: "PST")!)) OneOrMore(.horizontalWhitespace) Capture { One(.localizedCurrency(code: Locale.Currency("USD"), locale: enUSLocale)) } } guard let match = source.firstMatch(of: matcher) else { return } let currency = match?.1 // currency = 39739.45 ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
