Currency Codes - GlynHolton.com

Currency codes are three letter codes used to identify currencies. Widely used in finance and news reporting, currency codes are specified by the International Standards Organization (ISO) under their ISO 4217 standard.

Generally, the first two letters of a currency code indicate the country of origin and the third letter the name of the currency. For example, USD denotes the United States dollar and JPY the Japanese yen. An exception is the European euro, which is denoted EUR. Codes for some other currencies are AUD for the Australian dollar, CAD for the Canadian dollar, CHF for the Swiss franc, CNY for the Chinese yuan, GBP for the British pound, HKD for Hong Kong dollar, KRW for South Korean won, and SGD for Singapore dollar. ISO also specifies three-digit numeric currency codes, which can be used in languages that don’t use the Latin alphabet.

Exhibit 1 provides all currency codes under ISO 4217:2008, which is the current version of the standard. Numbers in the last column indicate the existance of a minor unit. A “0” indicates no minor unit. A “2” indicate there are 100 minor units in a single unit of the main currency. For example, there are 100 US pennies in a US dollar. A “3” indicates there are 1,000 minor units in a single unit of the main currency.

Following Exhibit 1, Exhibit 2 lists retired currency codes for currencies replaced by the euro. You may come across these codes in old documents, but they are no longer part of ISO 4217.
