Another solution to a devalued currency having the same name as its predecessor is to choose a third letter which results in a 3-letter code with mnemonic significance. In some cases, the third letter is the initial for "new" in that country's language, to distinguish it from an older currency that was revalued the code sometimes outlasts the usage of the term "new" itself (for example, the code for the Mexican peso is MXN). So that the two currencies have different codes, a different third letter must be chosen for the code of the new currency.

ISO 4217 amendment 94, which created this code, states “The code element 'EU' has been reserved by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency for use within ISO 4217 where 'R' has been appended to make an acceptable mnemonic code.”. An example is the assignment of the code EUR to the euro. It is considered important that the code of a completely new currency be highly mnemonic.There are two possible reasons for this to happen: In some cases, the third letter of the alpha code is not the initial letter of the currency name. This eliminates the problem caused by the names dollar, franc, peso and pound being used in dozens of countries, each having significantly differing values. So Japan's currency code is JPY-JP for Japan and Y for yen. In the case of national currencies, the first two letters of the alpha code are the two letters of the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code and the third is usually the initial of the currency itself. Note the Korean currency code should be KRW.
ISO 4217 alpha codes are used on airline tickets and international train tickets to remove any ambiguity about the price.Ī list of exchange rates for various base currencies given by a money changer in Thailand, with the Thailand Baht as the counter (or quote) currency. In many countries the ISO 4217 alpha codes for the more common currencies are so well known publicly that exchange rates published in newspapers or posted in banks use only these to delineate the currencies, instead of translated currency names or ambiguous currency symbols. The ISO 4217 code list is used in banking and business globally. The tables, history and ongoing discussion are maintained by SIX Interbank Clearing on behalf of ISO and the Swiss Association for Standardization.
