Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
In addition to the 12 new currencies that Valve told us about at Steam Dev Days earlier this year, they've also added support for Vietnamese Dong, South Korean Won, and Turkish Lira.
Background:
In anticipation of trying to get Enhanced Steam ready to work with the 12 new proposed currencies that were discussed at the Steam Dev Days earlier this year, I've been looking for a way to figure out exactly how Valve will be formatting these new currencies. If I know how they'll be formatted on the store, I can write the detection patterns into Enhanced Steam beforehand so that once these currencies go live, people who are affected by this change will still be able to use things like price history information and regional pricing comparisons in these new currencies.

I noticed that ¤cy=1 was obviously for US Dollars, since that is what was being returned. By changing this value, I've now discovered all of the currency types that Valve has already implemented, and the findings were somewhat surprising.

values higher than 22 all return USD.
Conclusion
The evidence is there that Valve will be supporting 20 currencies in the near future. Their store currently supports only 5, meaning they've added support for 15 currencies not 12 like they were originally planning earlier this year. The order of the currency values may indicate the time frame they're planning on rolling these out, or it may not.
It's worth noting that their systems are already correctly converting these values. It's not returning placeholder data but actual data which corresponds to the equivalent USD pricing for these items.
