I solved with an workaround that adapts based on country:

import { Pipe, PipeTransform, LOCALE_ID, Inject } from '@angular/core';
import { getLocaleCurrencySymbol, getLocaleCurrencyName } from 
'@angular/common';

@pipe({
name: 'currencyGlobal'
})
export class CurrencyGlobalPipe implements PipeTransform {
  constructor(@Inject(LOCALE_ID) public locale: string){
  }

  transform(value: number): any {
    return getLocaleCurrencySymbol(this.locale) + new 
     Intl.NumberFormat(this.locale, { style: 'decimal', minimumFractionDigits: 2 
   }).format(value);
}

}

Couldn't use the Intl style:'currency' because the getLocaleCurrencyName doens't return the same as the documentation says it does (https://angular.io/api/common/getLocaleCurrencyName), should be 'USD' but return 'US Dollar', so I did an workaround with currencySimbol + decimal.

Maybe it can help someone else
