change currency of string format

Question

I've got a string formatter:

String.Format("{0:c}", team.sales);

when I do this, the string is printed with a pound sign(£) is there any way for me to force formatter to show dollars($) instead?

This may be of help though, [SO](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6924067/how-to-get-specific-culture-currency-pattern) — Simon Wilson, May 20 '13 at 01:42
Maybe look [here](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.cultureinfo(v=vs.71).aspx). — ChiefTwoPencils, May 20 '13 at 01:42

int money = 125000000;
CultureInfo us = CultureInfo.ReadOnly(new CultureInfo("en-US"));
String result = String.Format(us, @"{0:c}", money);
