FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :

Reproduced on Solaris 8 with JDK 1.4.


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Here in Brazil we use two decimal places for currency
(#.##0,00), but the pattern returned by
getCurrencyInstance is #.##0,## - which ignores zeros
after the decimal.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Currency pattern expected for Brazil is "R$ #.##0,00".
It is currently returning "R$ #.##0,##".


This bug can be reproduced always.
