Within the Datatool package, we find the currency data type.
A currency data type is a currency symbol followed by an integer or real number.
How can I extract the currency symbol out of a currency data ??

After running DTLifcurrency or the internal equivalent @dtl@checknumerical, the currency symbol is stored in @dtl@currency, so you can use

@JosephMarie I do not understand your question. Why would you have to repeatexpandaftertheCurrencyrelax?expandaftertheCurrencyrelaxwould try to expand the non-expandablerelax, soexpandafteris useless here.

@JosephMarie that's imho a bug in datatool, it fails if the value starts with something that could be a currency. Your expandafter command hides this. You could also userelaxsymbol. I wrote Nicola a mail.
