ISO currency codes
From ACT Wiki
ISO currency codes are identifiers for currencies made up of three alphabetic characters as specified in ISO 4217 issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
The first two characters are country identifiers taken from from ISO 3166 and the third specifies the particular currency or type of funds.
Used within SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications) messages, ISO currency codes are often referred to as SWIFT codes.
