Our currency symbol lookup provides instant access to ISO 4217 reference data for all world currencies. Here's how to find exactly what you need:
ISO 4217 is the international standard maintained by the International Organization for Standardization that defines alphabetic and numeric codes for currencies and funds. Each currency receives a unique three-letter code where the first two letters come from the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code and the third letter is typically the first letter of the currency name. For example, USD = United States (US) Dollar (D), EUR = Euro (E) for European Union members, JPY = Japan (JP) Yen (Y). Some exceptions exist: XAF and XOF are used by multiple African nations sharing monetary unions (Central African CFA franc and West African CFA franc respectively), while XAU represents gold and XDR denotes Special Drawing Rights issued by the IMF. The standard also assigns a three-digit numeric code (840 for USD, 978 for EUR, 392 for JPY) used in systems that cannot process alphabetic characters. Understanding this structure helps developers validate currency inputs programmatically — a valid ISO 4217 code must be exactly three uppercase letters matching known currency assignments.
The tool includes over 200 active currencies plus historical and precious metal codes. This covers every ISO 4217 assigned currency code, including regional currencies like XAF/XOF (CFA franc), XCD (East Caribbean dollar), and special purpose codes like XAU (gold), XAG (silver), and XDR (IMF Special Drawing Rights).
Each entry displays the currency symbol (e.g., $), the ISO 4217 three-letter code (e.g., USD), the full currency name (e.g., US Dollar), the standard decimal places (e.g., 2), and the issuing country or region. Clicking an entry reveals additional details about its usage and status.
Yes! You can search by the currency symbol itself (like '$' or '€'), the three-letter code ('USD', 'EUR'), or the currency name ('Dollar', 'Euro', 'Pound'). The search is case-insensitive and supports partial matches, so typing 'dol' will match all dollar-denominated currencies.
Several currencies use the '$' symbol including US Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, and others. Similarly, '¥' serves both Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan. The ISO 4217 code disambiguates these — always reference the three-letter code when precision matters in technical contexts.
The tool focuses on currently circulating legal tender. Historical currencies like the German Mark (DEM), French Franc (FRF), and Italian Lira (ITL) are not included since they've been replaced by the Euro. However, precious metal codes (XAU, XAG) and special drawing rights (XDR) are included as they remain actively traded.
