There are many different currencies in
use in the world. A few have special symbols to represent
them but most use the first letter of the currency name.
Although the first letter of the currency name works well
when describing a local currency, in an international
context it leads to confusion. Does P20 mean 20 Pesetas,
Pesos, Pounds, Pataca, Pa'anga or something else? And if it
means 20 Pesos, are they Argentinian Pesos, Bolivian Pesos,
Chilean Pesos, Colombian Pesos, or some other variety of
Peso? For this reason we need an unambiguous, unique,
standardized (and preferably short) way of referring to
each currency.
Although there are special symbols for some currencies, many
of them cause problems when used in e-mail, news postings or
on web pages. For this reason we need a method of
representation that passes unchanged and without difficulty
in all of these media.
The solution, long used by the international banking
community, is the ISO 4217 set of currency abbreviations.
ISO 4217 (Codes
for the Representation of Currencies and Funds) defines
three-letter abbreviations for world currencies. The general
principle used to construct these abbreviations is to take
the two-letter abbreviations defined in ISO 3166
(Codes for the Representation of Names of Countries) and
append the first letter of the currency name (e.g., USD for
the United States Dollar).
In the case of currencies defined by
supra-national entities, ISO 4217 assigns two-letter entity
codes starting with "X" to use in place of country codes
(e.g., XCD for the Central Caribbean Dollar). |
