currencies: ISO codes for worldwide currencies.

In bautheac/fewISOs: A few ISO code datasets

Description

The currencies dataset corresponds to the ISO 4217 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that defines codes for worldwide currencies and comes as a three-letter alphabetic as well as an alternative three-digit numeric code, both provided in the dataset. The ISO 4217 three-letter alphabetic code standard is based on the ISO 3166-1 code standard for countries with the first two letters corresponding the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for the country issuing the corresponding currency and the third corresponding to the first letter of the currency name when possible. Where possible the three-digit numeric code is the same as the ISO 3166-1 numeric code for the issuing country.
