Portuguese escudos no longer exist.

Apple's pre-euro formatting for Portugal gives 1 234,56$ with space
as the thousands separator and dollar sign as a currency sign.

A document from TC304 gives 1.234$56 Esc. with full stop as the
thousands separator, dollar sign as a decimal separator, and currency
marked with the word.
