Changelog
This changelog reflects modifications made to the source ISO datasheets in order to make this dataset a useful lookup reference for most mainstream analytical contexts.
The objective of this dataset is to consolidate ISO-3166 (countries) and ISO-4127 (currencies) to provide a quick reference single dataset to answer questions like:
- What's the ISO code for Australia and what's the currency code for the Australian Dollar?
For that reason, various currencies provided by ISO-4217 but not the national currency were removed (see the edited vs original split in source).
Specifically these were the special settlement units (Chile's CLF, IMF's XDR) given that these are not legal tender in specific countries.
