Standard defining codes for currencies
An airline ticket showing the price with ISO 4217 code "EUR" (

) and not with euro
currency sign
ISO 4217
is a standard published by the
International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) that defines alpha codes and numeric codes for the representation of currencies and provides information about the relationships between individual currencies and their minor units. This data is published in three tables:
Table A.1 –
Current currency & funds code list
Table A.2 –
Current funds codes
Table A.3 –
List of codes for historic denominations of currencies & funds
The first edition of ISO 4217 was published in 1978. The tables, history and ongoing discussion are maintained by
SIX Group
on behalf of
ISO
and the
Swiss Association for Standardization
The ISO 4217 code list is used in
banking
and business globally. In many countries, the ISO 4217 alpha codes for the more common currencies are so well known publicly that exchange rates published in newspapers or posted in banks use only these to delineate the currencies, instead of translated currency names or ambiguous
currency symbols
. ISO 4217 alpha codes are used on airline tickets and international train tickets to remove any ambiguity about the price.
In 1973, the ISO Technical Committee 68 decided to develop codes for the representation of currencies and funds for use in any application of trade, commerce or banking. At the 17th session (February 1978), the related
UN
ECE
Group of Experts agreed that the three-letter alphabetic codes for International Standard ISO 4217, "Codes for the representation of currencies and funds", would be suitable for use in international trade.

Over time, new currencies are created and old currencies are discontinued. Such changes usually originate from the formation of new countries, treaties between countries on shared currencies or monetary unions, or
redenomination
from an existing currency due to excessive inflation. As a result, the list of codes must be updated from time to time. The ISO 4217 maintenance agency is responsible for maintaining the list of codes.

National currencies
edit
In the case of national currencies, the first two letters of the alpha code are the two letters of the
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
country code
and the third is usually the initial of the currency's main unit.
So
Japan
's currency code is
JPY
: "JP" for Japan and "Y" for
yen
. This eliminates the problem caused by the names
dollar
franc
peso
, and
pound
being used in many countries, each having significantly differing values.
In some cases, the third letter of the alpha code is not the initial letter of a currency unit name. There may be a number of reasons for this:
It is considered important that the code of a completely new currency be highly mnemonic if possible. An example is the assignment of the code
EUR
to the euro. ISO 4217 amendment 94,
which created this code, states "The code element 'EU' has been reserved by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency for use within ISO 4217 where 'R' has been appended to make an acceptable mnemonic code." Here the R comes from the third letter in the word "euro".
The currency in question is replacing another currency of the same name, due to revaluation. So that the two currencies have different codes, a different third letter must be chosen for the code of the new currency. In some cases, the third letter is the initial for "new" in that country's language, to distinguish it from an older currency that was revalued; the code sometimes outlasts the usage of the term "new" itself (for example, the code for the
Mexican peso
is
MXN
, reflecting its 1993 revaluation). Another solution to a revalued currency having the same name as its predecessor is to choose a third letter which results in a 3-letter code with mnemonic significance. For example, the
Russian ruble
changed from
RUR
to
RUB
following a revaluation, where the B comes from the third letter in the word "ruble".

In addition to codes for most active national currencies ISO 4217 provides codes for "supranational" currencies, procedural purposes, and several things which are "similar to" currencies:
Codes for the
precious metals
gold
(XAU),
silver
(XAG),
palladium
(XPD), and
platinum
(XPT) are formed by prefixing the element's chemical symbol with the letter "X". These "currency units" are defined as one
troy ounce
of the specified metal.
The code XTS is reserved for use in testing.
The code XXX is used to denote a "transaction" involving no currency.
There are also codes specifying certain monetary instruments used in international finance, e.g. XDR is the symbol for
special drawing right
issued by the
International Monetary Fund
The codes for most
supranational
currencies, such as the
East Caribbean dollar
, the
CFP franc
, the
CFA franc
BEAC, and the CFA franc BCEAO. The predecessor to the euro, the
European Currency Unit
(ECU), had the code XEU.
The use of the initial letter "X" for these purposes is facilitated by the
ISO 3166 rule
that no official country code beginning with X will ever be assigned.
The inclusion of the EU (denoting the
European Union
) in the
ISO 3166-1
reserved codes list allows the
euro
to be coded as EUR rather than assigned a code beginning with X, even though it is a supranational currency.
ISO 4217 also assigns a three-digit numeric code to each currency. This numeric code is usually the same as the numeric code assigned to the corresponding country by
ISO 3166-1
. For example, USD (
United States dollar
) has numeric code
840
which is also the ISO 3166-1 code for "US" (United States).

According to UN/CEFACT recommendation 9, paragraphs 8–9 ECE/TRADE/203, 1996:
22
8. In applications where monetary resources associated with a currency (i.e. funds) need not be specified and where a field identifier indicating currency is used, the first two (leftmost) characters are sufficient to identify a currency—example: US for United States dollars for general, unspecified purposes where a field identifier indicating currency is present. (A field identifier can be a preprinted field heading in an aligned document or a similarly-agreed application in electronic transmission of data.)
9. In applications where there is a need to distinguish between types of currencies, or where funds are required as in the banking environment, or where there is no field identifier, the third (rightmost) character of the alphabetic code is an indicator, preferably mnemonic, derived from the name of the major currency unit or fund—example: USD for general, unspecified purposes; USN for United States dollar next-day funds, and USS for funds which are immediately available for Federal Reserve transfer, withdrawal in cash or transfer in like funds (same-day funds). Since there is no need for such a distinction in international trade applications, the funds codes have not been included in the Annex to the present Recommendation.
A number of currencies had official ISO 4217 currency codes and currency names until their replacement by another currency. The table below shows the ISO currency codes of former currencies and their common names (which do not always match the ISO 4217 names). That table has been introduced end 1988 by ISO.
23
Minor unit fractions
edit
The 2008 (7th) edition of ISO 4217 says the following about minor units of currency:
Requirements sometimes arise for values to be expressed in terms of minor units of currency. When this occurs, it is necessary to know the decimal relationship that exists between the currency concerned and its minor unit. This information has therefore been included in this International Standard and is shown in the column headed "Minor unit" in Tables A.1 and A.2; "0" means that there is no minor unit for that currency, whereas "1", "2" and "3" signify a ratio of 10:1, 100:1 and
1000
:1 respectively. The names of the minor units are not given.
Examples for the ratios of
100
:1 and
1000
:1 include the United States dollar and the
Bahraini dinar
, for which the column headed "Minor unit" shows "2" and "3", respectively. As of 2021
[update]
, two currencies have non-decimal ratios, the
Mauritanian ouguiya
and the
Malagasy ariary
; in both cases the ratio is 5:1. For these, the "Minor unit" column shows the number "2". Some currencies, such as the
Burundian franc
, do not in practice have any minor currency unit at all. These show the number "0", as with currencies whose minor units are unused due to negligible value.

Code position in amount formatting
edit
The ISO 4217 standard does not regulate either the spacing, prefixing or suffixing in usage of currency codes. The
style guide
of the
European Union
's Publication Office declares that, for texts issued by or through the Commission in
Irish
Latvian
, and
Maltese
, the ISO 4217 code is to be followed by a "hard space" (
non-breaking space
) and the amount:
47
a sum of EUR 30
and for texts in
Bulgarian
Croatian
Czech
Danish
Dutch
Estonian
Finnish
French
German
Greek
Hungarian
Italian
Lithuanian
Polish
Portuguese
Romanian
Slovak
Slovene
Spanish
, and
Swedish
the order is reversed; the amount is followed by a non-breaking space and the ISO 4217 code:
une somme de 30 EUR
As illustrated, the order is determined not by the currency but by the native language of the document context.
USD, USN: two US currency codes
edit
The
US dollar
has two codes assigned: USD and USN ("US dollar next day"
definition needed
). The USS (same day) code is not in use any longer, and was removed from the list of active ISO 4217 codes in March 2014.
Non ISO 4217 currencies
edit
Currencies without ISO 4217 currency codes
edit
A number of active currencies do not have an ISO 4217 code, because they may be:
a minor currency pegged at par (1:1) to a larger currency, even if independently regulated,
a currency only used for commemorative banknotes or coins, or
a currency of an
unrecognized or partially recognized state
These currencies include:
See
Category:Fixed exchange rate
for a list of all currently pegged currencies.
Non-standard codes
edit
Despite having no presence or status in the standard,
three letter acronyms
that resemble ISO 4217 coding are sometimes used locally or commercially to represent
de facto
currencies or currency instruments.

Unofficial codes for minor units of currency
edit
Minor units of currency (also known as currency subdivisions or currency subunits) are often used for pricing and trading company shares and other assets, such as energy,
73
but are not assigned codes by ISO 4217. Two conventions for representing minor units are in widespread use:
Replacing the third letter of the ISO 4217 Code of the parent currency with an upper-case "X". Examples are GBX
