!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] are defined in [ISO 4217] are used in banking and business globally. 

In many countries the [ISO] 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 different currencies, instead of translated currency names or ambiguous currency symbols. 

[{$pagename}] are used on airline tickets and international train tickets to remove any ambiguity about the price.

!! [Cryptocurrency]
Recently, [cryptocurrencies|Cryptocurrency] have __unofficially__ used ISO codes on various [cryptocurrency] exchanges, for instance [LTC] for [Litecoin], [NMC] for [Namecoin] and [XRP] for [Ripple]. SIX Interbank Clearing (a Maintenance Agency of ISO) is currently studying the impact and role of [cryptocurrencies|Cryptocurrency] and other independent currencies on ISO 4217
A proposal for formalising a registry of such codes without the issue of collisions or the need for involvement from SIX exists as an [IETF] standards draft.
