Currency codes. People around the world rely on almost 300 different currencies to do business with each other, which is why it pays to use ISO 4217. This standard establishes internationally recognized codes for the representation of currencies that enable clarity and reduce errors.
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).
