Adding a currency in numbers missing custom format option

I just paid for numbers latest version June 2012. iPad 3' v5.1.1. Want to format a cell as a currency not in the little list chosen by apple. Forums suggest using the custom format option but I can not see this anywhere? Any ideas how to add a custom format or how to extend the list of currencies to all currencies. If nothing else missing out a countries currency as too unimportant to include is just plain rude!

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

1) You posted to the Numbers on Mac OS X forum ( Apple Support Communities > iWork > Numbers > Discussions ). The iWork for iOS forum is more likely to provide the direct answer...

2) you can add custom formats (demonstrating from Numbers for Mac OS X) by opening the cells inspector:

Then naming the new format and setting the parameters of the format:

If the currency symbol is not in the list then you can preceed (or follow) the value with the proper symbol:


I decided to demonstrate this by showing a preceeding infinity sign before the amount:
