Precedence. The [item-price] tag is interpreted in the surrounding loop,
and will not change with locale in the way that you want.

You shouldn't need both [setlocale] and [currency]. Try:


<!-- [data scratch ....] no longer supported, use [scratch ...] instead -->
[scratch mv_locale]
    [price [item-code]]
[setlocale currency=eur_EUR]
    [price [item-code]]
[setlocale currency=cz_CZ]
    [price [item-code]]
[setlocale currency=de_DE]
    [price [item-code]]
