ISO codes for worldwide currencies.

Source: R/data.r

The currencies dataset corresponds to the ISO 4217 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that defines codes for worldwide currencies and comes as a three-letter alphabetic as well as an alternative three-digit numeric code, both provided in the dataset. The ISO 4217 three-letter alphabetic code standard is based on the ISO 3166-1 code standard for countries with the first two letters corresponding the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for the country issuing the corresponding currency and the third corresponding to the first letter of the currency name when possible. Where possible the three-digit numeric code is the same as the ISO 3166-1 numeric code for the issuing country.
