This is a list of global currencies and their three-character ISO 4217 currency code. Note that in most cases, the ISO 4217 currency code is composed of the country's two-character ISO 3166 country code plus a one-character currency designator. For example, the code for Canadian Dollars is simply Canada's two-character ISO 3166 code ("CA") plus a one-character currency designator ("D").

IMPORTANT: While it would be nice to believe that there is a single ISO 4217 "standard" code for currencies, the simple truth is that, as in most industries, people just do whatever they want to, whether it's right or not.

As a result, some of the ISO 4217 codes below are not actually specified in the ISO 4217 standard, and further, may not agree with other sources. While we attempt to reflect the predominant industry trends, it is impossible to maintain a perfect list.

There are two columns below: once contains currencies sorted by the geographical areas in which they are used, and the other contains currencies sorted by their three-letter code. The first column is longer simply because many places do not have their own currency, or choose to use the currencies of one or more other countries.
