What is a Currency Code?

Currency codes are three-letter abbreviations set by ISO 4217. The first two letters usually represent the country, and the third letter represents the currency name. For example:

  1. INR = Indian Rupee (IN + Rupee)
  2. USD = United States Dollar (US + Dollar)
  3. EUR = Euro (used by many European countries)

These codes are especially useful in foreign exchange (Forex), banking, and international trade.

Countries That Use the Same Currency

Some currencies are shared across multiple countries. Here are some examples:

  1. Euro (EUR) – Used by 20+ European countries (France, Germany, Spain, Italy, etc.)
  2. East Caribbean Dollar (XCD) – Shared by countries like Saint Lucia, Grenada, and Antigua & Barbuda
  3. Central African CFA Franc (XAF) – Used by Cameroon, Chad, Gabon, and others

Weakest Currency in the World

The Iranian Rial is regarded as the weakest currency in the world, largely because of prolonged economic sanctions, rampant inflation, and ongoing political instability.

Highest Currency in the World

The Kuwaiti Dinar is the highest currency in the world, known for its strong value due to Kuwait's robust economy and vast oil reserves. Its stability and high exchange rate make it highly sought after in global markets.
