ISO CURRENCY CODING

WHAT IS CURRENCY CODING?

1. A three-letter designation assigned by ISO standard 4217 denoting a given currency.
Exp- PKR
2. The currency abbreviation or currency symbol for the Pakistani rupee (PKR), the
currency of Pakistan. The Pakistani rupee is made up of 100 paisa and is often represente
by the symbol Rp. Also known as rupees.
3. When Pakistan became independent from Britain in 1947, the Pakistani rupee replaced
the Indian rupee. The rupee was decimalized in 1961, replacing the 16 annas that the
rupee was originally divided into with 100 paisa.

BACKGROUND
The name of a currency is a data element frequently used in documents and telecommunication
messages exchanged between parties in international trade transactions.Correct transmission and
reception of this data element is of vital importance, and each element (currency) must be
identified uniquely. It is recalled that the name of a currency is sometimes the same in different
countries and that the name of the issuing country should be indicated to ensure uniqueness
(Canadian dollar; Norwegian krone). It is also recalled that the data element is shown repeatedly
in a number of documents and that different currencies might be indicated for different stages of
the transaction – for example, for the payment of transport charges, Customs duties and other
costs.
The length of the data element and the frequency of its appearance make a coded representation
desirable. With the rapid expansion of information interchange on an international basis, the
need for a universally-applicablecode for the identification of currencies has become
increasingly urgent. No worldwide standard currency code existed before agreement was
reached in the UN/ECE and ISO, and between the two organizations, to develop a code to be
included both in an intergovernmental Recommendation and in an International Standard as
described in the Preamble to the present Recommendation. It is recommended that participants
in international trade transactions without an existing currency code give early implementation
to the new internationally-agreed standard currency and funds code. Participants with an existing
code may find it advantageous the adopt the International Standard as a replacement of their in-
house standards.
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) of 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. 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.

ISO 4217
ISO 4217 is the international standard describing three-letter codes (also known as the currency
code) to define the names of currencies established by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO). The ISO 4217 code list is the established norm in banking and business
all over the world for defining different currencies, and in many countries the 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 define the different currencies, instead of translated currency
names or ambiguous currency symbols. ISO 4217 codes are used on airline tickets and
international train tickets to remove any ambiguity about the price.

SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION

International Standard ISO 4217 described its scope as the establishment of “a three-letter
alphabetic code and an equivalent three-digit numeric code for the representation of currencies
and funds” (see paragraph 10 below). The Standard is intended for use in any application of
trade, banking or administration where names of currencies or funds are required to be
represented in a coded form. The code is designed to be equally suitable forautomated or manual
applications.

PRINCIPLES FOR INCLUSION IN THE

CURRENCY LIST
The currencies appearing in the Annex to this Recommendation are those used within the
entities described in the Recommendation No. 3 of the Working Party on Facilitation of
International Trade Procedures, “ISO Country Code – Codes for the representation of names of
countries”, a Recommendation dated October 1974 to use International Standard ISO 3166,
“Codes for the representation of names of countries”, for application in international trade.
Currencies and entities listed are intended to reflect current status known at the time of
publication.

CODE STRUCTURE

2| Page
The first two letters of the code are the two letters of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 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. Often, the minor currency unit has a value that is 1/100 of the major unit, but
1/1000 is also common. 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.

PROVISIONS FOR UPDATING

The list of countries and their code elements are subject to amendment, according to the rules set
out in International Standards ISO 3166 and ISO 4217. A Maintenance Agency for ISO 4217
has been appointed, serviced by the Secretariat of ISO/TC 68/SC 2, the British Standards
Institution. As required, the ECE Secretariat will provide code supplements containing the
current version of the Alpha-2 code. The list below reflects the version valid on 1 January 1996.

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

12 | P a g e
 such a distinction in international trade applications, the funds codes have not been
included in the Annex to the present Recommendation.

WITHOUT CURRENCY CODE

A number of territories are not included in ISO 4217, because their currencies are: (a) not per se
an independent currency but a variant of another currency, (b) a legal tender only issued as
commemorative banknotes and/or coinage, or (c) a currency of an unrecognized or partially
recognized state.
These currencies are:

1. Alderney pound (1:1 pegged to the pound sterling)

2. Cook Islands dollar (1:1 pegged to the New Zealand dollar)

3. Faroese króna (1:1 pegged to the Danish krone)

4. Guernsey pound (1:1 pegged to the pound sterling)

5. Isle of Man pound (1:1 pegged to the pound sterling)

6. Jersey pound (1:1 pegged to the pound sterling)

7. Kiribati dollar (1:1 pegged to the Australian dollar)

8. Maltese scudo (1:0.24 pegged to the euro)

9. Somaliland shilling (state of issue is viewed as de jure part of Somali, exchange rate not
fixed)
10. Transnistrian ruble (state of issue is viewed as de jure part of Moldova)

11. Tuvaluan dollar (1:1 pegged to the Australian dollar)

The following non-ISO codes are, however, sometimes used commercially:

Guernsey pound GGP
Jersey pound JEP
Isle of Man pound IMP
Somaliland shilling SLSH
Tuvalu dollar TVD

ISO 3166 Maintenance agency (ISO 3166/MA) - ISO's

focal point for country codes
The existence of various country codes developed by different organizations can be confusing if
you exchange goods or information in our ever more integrated world. To make sure that
communication works you need an accepted, up-to-date country code standard.
ISO 3166 is this commonly accepted International Standard and the ISO 3166/MA has been
updating it since 1974.
