You are correct, the separator is present but (V7.0) the currency symbol is no longer visible. I tried

set currency to 'DM '
set separator to ','

? Trans(1234.56,'@$ 9,999.99')
? Trans(1234.56,'@$ $,$$$.99')
? Trans(1234.56,'@$ $$,$$$.99')   && Dollar sign shows :<
? Trans(1234.56,'@$ $$$,$$$.$$')  && Currency shows but...

but none produced a currency symbol in the correct place.

Does it work for you, and if so what version(s) of VFP.

Thanks
