ISO 4217

January 01, 1970

"Currency code" redirects here. Not to be confused with Currency symbol.

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:[1]

  • Table A.1 – Current currency & funds code list[1]
  • Table A.2 – Current funds codes[1]
  • Table A.3 – List of codes for historic denominations of currencies & funds[1]

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.[2]

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.

History edit

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.[3]

Types of codes edit

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.[4] 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 dozens of countries, each having significantly differing values. While in most cases the ISO code resembles an abbreviation of the currency's full English name, this is not always the case, as currencies such as the Algerian dinar, Aruban florin, Cayman dollar, renminbi, sterling and the Swiss franc have been assigned codes which do not closely resemble abbreviations of the official currency names.

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,[5] 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 devaluation. 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). Another solution to a devalued 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 devaluation, where the B comes from the third letter in the word "ruble".[citation needed]

X currencies (funds, precious metals, supranationals, other) edit

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:

The use of an 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 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.

Numeric codes edit

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).

Active codes (list one) edit

The following is a list of active codes of official ISO 4217 currency names as of 1 April 2022. In the standard the values are called "alphabetic code", "numeric code", "minor unit", and "entity".

According to UN/CEFACT recommendation 9, paragraphs 8–9 ECE/TRADE/203, 1996:[21]

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.

Historical codes edit

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.[22]

Currency details edit

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, 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.[citation needed]

Code position in amount formatting edit

The ISO 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 English, Irish, Latvian and Maltese, the ISO 4217 code is to be followed by a "hard space" (non-breaking space) and the amount:[41]

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"). 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:

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.

Active abbreviations resembling ISO 4217 currency codes
Unofficial
code		 ISO 4217
code		 D[a] Currency Locations using this currency Notes
BDS[43][j] BBD 2 Barbados dollar Barbados The Government of Barbados and Central Bank of Barbados sometimes use the abbreviation "BDS" rather than the official ISO 4217 "BBD". BDS conflicts with ISO 4217, because BD is reserved for Bangladesh.
CNH[44] — 2 Renminbi (offshore) Hong Kong The code CNH is used to represent the Renminbi in offshore trading, especially offshore trading involving Hong Kong. See Offshore Renminbi (CNH). The USD/CNY rate and the USD/CNH rate are, usually, different.[45]
CNT[46] — 2 Renminbi (offshore) Taiwan The code CNT is used to represent the Renminbi in offshore trading, especially offshore trading involving Taiwan. See Other markets.
GGP[47] — 2 Guernsey pound Guernsey
IMP[47] — 2 Manx pound Isle of Man
JEP[47] — 2 Jersey pound Jersey
KID[48] — 2 Kiribati dollar Kiribati
NIS[49] ILS 2 Israeli shekel Israel NIS stands for New Israeli Shekel, the currency that replaced the first Israeli shekel due to hyperinflation. NIS conflicts with ISO 4217, because NI stands for Nicaragua.
NTD[50] TWD 2 New Taiwan dollar Taiwan
PRB[51] — 2 Transnistrian ruble Transnistria Transnistria is an unrecognised state and is de facto rather than de jure independent. PRB conflicts with ISO 4217, because PR stands for Puerto Rico.
SLS[52] — 2 Somaliland shilling Somaliland Somaliland is an unrecognised state and is de facto rather than de jure independent. SLS conflicts with ISO 4217, because SL stands for Sierra Leone.
STG[53] GBP 2 Sterling United Kingdom STG stands for STerlinG, the official name of the United Kingdom's currency, of which the pound is the main unit. While not an ISO code, "STG" is nonetheless the CHAPS real-time gross settlement and clearing code for sterling recognized by SWIFT. It is listed in ISO 20022 as a registered external code used by SWIFT.[54] STG conflicts with ISO 4217, because ST stands for São Tomé and Príncipe.
RMB CNY 2 Renminbi Mainland China RMB stands for RenMinBi, the official name of the Chinese currency, of which the yuan is the main unit. RMB conflicts with ISO 4217 because RM is reserved for Madagascar.
TVD[47] — 2 Tuvalu dollar Tuvalu TV is the ISO 3166 two-letter code for Tuvalu
ZWB[55] — 2 Zimbabwean bonds Zimbabwe Also known as the RTGS Dollar.

The following non-ISO codes were used in the past.

MAF[k] — 2 Malian franc Mali Used from 1962 to 1984. The code MAF was formerly noted in ISO 4217, but was amended to MLF on 2007-06-18.[k]
MCF — 2 Monégasque franc Monaco Used until January 1999, when it was replaced by the euro (EUR).[60]

YUG — 2 Yugoslav dinar Yugoslavia Re-denomination used in January 1994 until it was replaced by the novi dinar (YUM).[64]
YUO — 2 Yugoslav dinar Yugoslavia Re-denomination used from October–December 1993, when it was again re-denominated (YUG).[65]
YUR — 2 Reformed Yugoslav dinar Yugoslavia[l] Revaluation used from July 1992 to September 1993 until re-denomination (YUO).[66]

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 stocks and other assets, such as energy,[67] 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[68][67][69] for penny sterling, USX[68] for the US Cent, EUX[68][67] for the Euro Cent.
  • Replacing the third letter of the ISO 4217 Code of the parent currency with the first letter of the name of a minor unit, using lower-case. Examples are GBp[70][69] for Penny Sterling, USc[70] for the US Cent, EUc[70] for the Euro Cent.

A third convention is similar to the second one but uses an upper-case letter, e.g. ZAC[71] for the South African Cent.

Cryptocurrencies edit

Cryptocurrencies have not been assigned an ISO 4217 code.[72] However, some cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency exchanges use a three-letter acronym that resemble an ISO 4217 code.

Notes edit

  1. ^ a b c d The number of digits after the decimal separator.
  2. ^ Entities listed in the ISO 4217 standard. See the list of circulating currencies for de facto currency use.
  3. ^ a b c d Not part of the European Union, but uses euro via monetary agreement.
  4. ^ a b Adopted unilaterally, not an actual part of the eurozone.
  5. ^ Jeon is defined as 1/100 won by the Bank of Korea Act, Article 47-2,[9] but it is not practically used and only used for exchange rates.
  6. ^ a b The Malagasy ariary and the Mauritanian ouguiya are technically divided into five subunits (the iraimbilanja and khoum respectively) the coins display "1/5" on their face and are referred to as a "fifth" (Khoum/cinquième); These are not used in practice, but when written out, a single significant digit is used. E.g. 1.2 UM.
  7. ^ a b The fifth Zimbabwean dollar, formerly the RTGS dollar until 24 June 2019, reuses ZWL: the fourth Zimbabwean dollar also used the code, from 2 February 2009 to 30 September 2015.
  8. ^ Added on 2005-06-01 with an effective date of 2006-01-01,[23] but moved to the historic index and replaced by AZN on 2005-10-13 due to not complying with the currency coding standardization rules.[24]
  9. ^ The numeric code for the German Mark was originally 280: it was changed to 276 on 16 April 1999 to align with ISO 3166-1.[28]
  10. ^ The Government of Barbados and the Central Bank often use the International vehicle registration code code "BDS" instead of the ISO 4217 code "BBD". For example, the Central Bank uses the code "BDS$" for listing past exchange rates on its website.[43]
  11. ^ a b Not compatible with ISO 4217, as currency codes beginning with MA are reserved to Morocco. However, formerly referred to in the list of historical currencies with a footnote stating that it is a "non ISO code".[58] Amended to MLF on 2007-06-18.[59]
  12. ^ Croatia and Macedonia issued their own currencies before the 1992 dinar entered circulation. Bosnia and Herzegovina issued their own currency when the 1992 dinar entered circulation.

Currency code redirects here Not to be confused with Currency symbol 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 1 Table A 1 Current currency amp funds code list 1 Table A 2 Current funds codes 1 Table A 3 List of codes for historic denominations of currencies amp funds 1 An airline ticket showing the price with ISO 4217 code EUR bottom left and not with euro currency sign 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 2 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 Contents 1 History 2 Types of codes 2 1 National currencies 2 2 X currencies funds precious

Cryptocurrencies 6 See also 7 Notes 8 References 9 External linksHistory editIn 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 3 Types of codes edit nbsp A list of exchange rates for various base currencies given by a money changer in Thailand with the Thailand Baht as the counter or quote currency Note the Korean currency code should be KRW 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 4 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 dozens of countries each having significantly differing values While in most cases the ISO code resembles an abbreviation of the currency s full English name this is not always the case as currencies such as the Algerian dinar Aruban florin Cayman dollar renminbi sterling and the Swiss franc have been assigned codes which do not closely resemble abbreviations of the official currency names 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 5 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 devaluation 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 Another solution to a devalued 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 devaluation where the B comes from the third letter in the word ruble citation needed X currencies funds precious metals supranationals other edit 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 an 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 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 Numeric codes edit 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 List of ISO 4217 currency codes editActive codes list one edit

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 Historical codes edit 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

USD ZWL Currency details editMinor 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 citation needed Code position in amount formatting edit The ISO 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 English Irish Latvian and Maltese the ISO 4217 code is to be followed by a hard space non breaking space and the amount 41 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 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 editCurrencies without ISO 4217 currency codes edit A number of active currencies do not have an ISO 4217 code because they may be 1 a minor currency pegged at par 1 1 to a larger currency even if independently regulated 2 a currency only used for commemorative banknotes or coins or 3 a currency of an unrecognized or partially recognized state These currencies include Abkhazian apsar Alderney pound 1 1 pegged to sterling Artsakh dram Cook Islands dollar 1 1 pegged to the New Zealand dollar

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 stocks and other assets such as energy 67 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 68 67 69 for penny sterling USX 68 for the US Cent EUX 68 67 for the Euro Cent Replacing the third letter of the ISO 4217 Code of the parent currency with the first letter of the name of a minor unit using lower case Examples are GBp 70 69 for Penny Sterling USc 70 for the US Cent EUc 70 for the Euro Cent A third convention is similar to the second one but uses an upper case letter e g ZAC 71 for the South African Cent Cryptocurrencies edit See also List of cryptocurrencies Cryptocurrencies have not been assigned an ISO 4217 code 72 However some
