pretty_name: ISO 3166, ISO 4217 Consolidated Dataset For Analysis

ISO-3166 & ISO-4217 "Consolidated" Lookup Dataset

This dataset contains a mapping between ISO-3166 (countries) and ISO-4217 (currencies).

The objective was to create a single dataset to support everyday workloads in international financial analysis undertaken by "casual" / non-official actors and analysts.

Version

V1

Compiled by: Daniel Rosehill Date: 03-09 (September) - 2025

Note: geopolitics and the global financial system are clearly dynamic concepts.

Much as this dataset is totally unofficial (and should be used accordingly) it also reflects a mapping based upon a static copy of the data sourced on September 03, 2025.

ISO-4217 provides a separate sub-standard for historic currencies. Countries change name from time to time, secede, join monetary alliances, etc. These changes are reflected in the ongoing revision process of the ISO standards which also (ISO-4217) provides a lookup for former/deprecated currencies.

Provenance / Edits

To reflect the intended

• Several currencies provided in ISO-4217 and which are not the permament formal/national currency of current soverign entities were excludedc from the matching logic.

• See changelog.md for a list of these. These include multilateral mechanisms like Special Drawing Rights.

Enriched Data

A few Booleans were added to help quickly identify outliers in the international currency system such as the (relatively few) countries in which there are multiple legaly units of tender, as captured in ISO-4217.
