Price Currency (ISO Code)  – datatype (ISOCUR)

The ISO-4217 alphabetic currency of the price the quote is traded and displayed

The alphabetic code is based on another ISO standard, ISO 3166, the ISO Country Code. The first two letters of the ISO 4217 three-letter code are the same as the ISO 3166 Country Code, and where possible the third letter corresponds to the first letter of the currency name.

For example:

The US dollar is represented as USD – the US being the ISO 3166 Country Code for the United States and the D for dollar.
The Swiss franc is represented as CHF – the CH being the code ISO 3166 Country Code for Switzerland and the F for franc.

See Currency Codes table for a list of possible values.

The ISO Price Currency is also available in datatype NPCUR.
