ISO 4217
Encyclopedia
ISO 4217 is a standard published by the International Standards Organization, which delineates currency
designators, country code
s (alpha and numeric), and references to minor units in three tables:
The tables, history and ongoing discussion is maintained by SIX Interbank Clearing.
The ISO 4217 code list is used in banking and business
globally. In many countries the ISO codes for the more common currencies are so well known publicly that exchange rate

tickets to remove any ambiguity about the price.
country codes (which are also used as the basis for national top-level domains
on the Internet
) and the third is usually the initial of the currency itself. So Japan
's currency code is JPY—JP for Japan and Y for yen. This eliminates the problem caused by the names dollar
, franc
and pound
being used in dozens of different countries, each having significantly differing values. Also, if a currency is revalued, the currency code's last letter is changed to distinguish it from the old 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). Other changes can be seen, however; the Russian ruble
, for example, changed from RUR to RUB, where the B comes from the third letter in the word "ruble".
There is also a three-digit code number assigned to each currency, in the same manner as there is also a three-digit code number assigned to each country as part of ISO 3166
. This numeric code is usually the same as the ISO 3166-1 numeric
code. For example, USD (United States dollar
) has code 840 which is also the numeric code for the US (United States).
The standard also defines the relationship between the major currency unit and any minor currency unit. Usually, the minor currency unit has a value that is 1/100 of the major unit, but 1/1000 is also used. Some currencies do not have any minor currency unit at all. In others, the major currency unit has so little value that the minor unit is no longer generally used (e.g. the Japanese sen, 1/100th of a yen). This is indicated in the standard by the currency exponent. For example, USD has exponent 2, while JPY has exponent 0. Mauritania
does not use a decimal division of units, setting 1 ouguiya
(UM) = 5 khoums
, and Madagascar
has 1 ariary = 5 iraimbilanja
.
ISO 4217 includes codes not only for currencies, but also for precious metals (gold
, silver
, palladium
and platinum
; by definition expressed per one troy ounce
, as compared to "1 USD") and certain other entities used in international finance, e.g. Special Drawing Rights
. There are also special codes allocated for testing purposes (XTS), and to indicate no currency transactions (XXX). These codes all begin with the letter "X". The precious metals use "X" plus the metal's chemical symbol
; silver, for example, is XAG. ISO 3166 never assigns country codes beginning with "X", these codes being assigned for privately customized use only (reserved, never for official codes)—for instance, the ISO 3166-based NATO country codes (STANAG 1059, 9th edition) use "X" codes for imaginary exercise countries ranging from XXB for "Brownland" to XXR for "Redland", as well as for major commands such as XXE for SHAPE
or XXS for SACLANT
. Consequently, ISO 4217 can use "X" codes for non-country-specific currencies without risk of clashing with future country codes.
Supranational currencies, such as the East Caribbean dollar
, the CFP franc
, the CFA franc BEAC and the CFA franc BCEAO are normally also represented by codes beginning with an "X". The euro
is represented by the code EUR (EU is included in the ISO 3166-1
reserved codes list to represent the European Union
). The predecessor to the euro, the European Currency Unit
(ECU), had the code XEU.

Over time, new currencies are created and old currencies are discontinued. Frequently, these changes are due to new governments (through war or a new constitution), treaties between countries standardizing on a currency, or revaluation of the currency due to excessive inflation. As a result, the list of codes must be updated from time to time. The ISO 4217 maintenance agency (MA), SIX Interbank Clearing, is responsible for maintaining the list of codes.

Explanation of USD/USS/USN
The US dollar actually has three codes assigned: USD, USS (same day) and USN (next day). According to UN/CEFACT recommendation 9, paragraphs 8-9 ECE/TRADE/203, 1996, available online:- 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 different 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.
