Without Currency Code
A number of currencies are not included in ISO 4217, because these 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)
- Bitcoin (not issued by a recognized state)
- Cook Islands dollar (1:1 pegged to the New Zealand dollar)
- Faroese króna (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 euro)
- 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:
| Code | Num | E | Currency | Locations using this currency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BTC | - | - | Bitcoin | International |
| 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 |
In addition, GBX is sometimes used (for example on the London Stock Exchange) to denote Penny sterling, a subdivision of pound sterling, the currency for the United Kingdom.

Famous quotes containing the words currency and/or code:
“One of the reforms to be carried out during the incoming administration is a change in our monetary and banking laws, so as to secure greater elasticity in the forms of currency available for trade and to prevent the limitations of law from operating to increase the embarrassment of a financial panic.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
