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:
“There is no legislation—I care not what it is—tariff, railroads, corporations, or of a general political character, that all equals in importance the putting of our banking and currency system on the sound basis proposed in the National Monetary Commission plan.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Many people will say to working mothers, in effect, “I don’t think you can have it all.” The phrase for “have it all” is code for “have your cake and eat it too.” What these people really mean is that achievement in the workplace has always come at a price—usually a significant personal price; conversely, women who stayed home with their children were seen as having sacrificed a great deal of their own ambition for their families.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
