List of currencies and their 3 digit codes as defined by [ISO 4217][iso-4217]. The data
provided here is the consolidation of Table A.1 "Current currency & funds code list" and
Table A.3 "Historic denominations".
Note that the [ISO page][iso-4217] offers pay-for PDFs but also links to [http://www.currency-iso.org/en/home/tables.html](http://www.currency-iso.org/en/home/tables.html) which does provide them in machine readable form freely.
