lookup formula for currency

On my spread sheet the relevant account currency is entered in column B. Can
other columns be formatted to bear the currency symbol entered in column B.?
E.g if A contains USD can G show as USD100.00 when 100.00 is entered and
will it still be a numeric value?

Also, if I have three rate tables can i have a formula the looks up one of
the currency rate tables depending on the country in column A.

Not completely sure what you require but try looking at Format Cells
Custom.
You can create a format to suit. However the cell will only display the
format you enter and I get the impression that USD may not always be the
required format.
Another solution would be to insert a column in front of column G (your
current column G then becomes column H) that will hold the desired curreny
symbol (e.g. if B5 is where the relevant currency is entered then in the new
column G5 enter
=IF(AND(B5"",G50),B5,"")
Regarding Country selection perhaps a LOOKUP fomula will help, have a look

Whoops
Formula should be:
=IF(AND(B5"",H50),B5,"")
