<i18n dev> Review request : 7180362: RFE: Implement date cutover functionality for currency.properties file

[Seán Coffey]

Stephen,

just see your mail now (damn filters)

Yes - this makes sense. I'll make the modification and run some more 
tests to ensure all is ok.
Updated webrev to follow. I'll also follow up with getting new change 
approved with the
compatibility/conformance team.

regards,
Sean.
