Currency Code (ISO 4217)

Also called: ISO 4217

The three-letter standard code for each currency — USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, CHF, NZD, etc.

ISO 4217 is the international standard for currency identification. The first two letters typically come from the country code (ISO 3166), the third from the currency name. Some commodities have synthetic codes — XAU (gold), XAG (silver), XBT (Bitcoin).
