What is an ISO 4217 currency code?

An ISO 4217 code is a 3-letter code that uniquely identifies a currency. For example, USD is the US Dollar, EUR is the Euro, and JPY is the Japanese Yen. These codes are used in banking, international trade, and financial software to avoid ambiguity between currencies that share names (such as "dollar").

What does the decimal digits column mean?

The "decimals" column shows how many digits appear after the decimal separator in amounts of that currency. Most currencies use 2 (e.g., $1.99 USD). Some, like the Japanese Yen (JPY) and Chilean Peso (CLP), use 0 because they have no fractional minor units in common use.

What is the ISO 4217 numeric code used for?

The 3-digit numeric code provides a language-neutral alternative to the alphabetic code. It is used in some machine-to-machine systems, older database systems, and contexts where only digits are accepted.

How do I look up a currency code?

Use your browser's built-in search (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) and type the currency name or country name. The table is sorted alphabetically by ISO code for easy scanning.
