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 JPYJP 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. History

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.

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 currencyexample: 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 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 or coinage or (c) a currency of an unrecognized or partially recognized state. These currencies are: Alderney pound (1:1 pegged to the pound sterling) Cook Islands dollar (1:1 pegged to the New Zealand dollar) Faroese krna (1:1 pegged to the Danish krone) Guernsey pound (1:1 pegged to the pound sterling) Isle of Man pound (1:1 pegged to the pound sterling) Jersey pound (1:1 pegged to the pound sterling) Kiribati dollar (1:1 pegged to the Australian dollar) Maltese scudo (1:0.24 pegged to the euro7) Somaliland shilling (state of issue is viewed as de jure part of Somalia exchange rate not fixed) Transnistrian ruble (state of issue is viewed as de jure part of Moldova) Tuvaluan dollar (1:1 pegged to the Australian dollar) The following non-ISO codes are however sometimes used commercially:8 Code Num E5 Currency Locations using this currency BTC - 8 Bitcoin World GGP - 2 Guernsey pound Guernsey JEP - 2 Jersey pound Jersey IMP - 2 Isle of Man pound also Manx pound Isle of Man KRI - 2 Kiribati dollar Kiribati SLS SLSH - 2 Somaliland shilling Somaliland PRB - 2 Transnistrian ruble Transnistria TVD - 2 Tuvalu dollar Tuvalu Historic currency codes A number of currencies were official ISO 4217 currency codes and currency names until their replacement by the euro or other currencies.
