This data is published in three tables:[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217#cite_note-ISO4217-1) * Table A.1 – Current currency & funds code list[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217#cite_note-ISO4217-1) * Table A.2 – Current funds codes[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217#cite_note-ISO4217-1) * Table A.3 – List of codes for historic denominations of currencies & funds[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217#cite_note-ISO4217-1) The first edition of ISO 4217 was published in 1978. The tables, history and ongoing discussion are maintained by [SIX Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIX_Group) on behalf of [ISO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Organization_for_Standardization) and the [Swiss Association for Standardization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Association_for_Standardization).[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217#cite_note-2) The ISO 4217 code list is used in [banking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank) and [business](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business) globally. In many countries, the ISO 4217 alpha codes for the more common currencies are so well known publicly that [exchange rates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_rate) published in newspapers or posted in [banks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank) use only these to delineate the currencies, instead of translated currency names or ambiguous [currency symbols](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_symbol). ISO 4217 alpha codes are used on [airline tickets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_ticket) and international train tickets to remove any ambiguity about the price. \ **Reference** {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://standards.spdci.org/standards/standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/common-standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/data/code-directory/cd.com.06-currency.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
