Currency Codes (version 1)

The Electron Cash wallet currently allows a payment amount to be specified in various fiat currencies, which are then converted to a BCH amount for the transaction. As of release 4.2.3, those include GBP, EUR, USD, and AUD, and each one needs to be a currency that an exchange rate for BCH can be found for, from an exchange that the wallet supports. The supported currencies and exchanges are specified in the currencies.json file.

For Revolutionary Cash, we are designing the protocol to be able to be used globally. We start off with ISO 4217, the international standard for currencies (see: https://www.iso.org/iso-4217-currency-codes.html) and then de-dupe for countries that use the same currency (such as the Euro) and we removed some listed “currencies” that are only used for special purposes.

The ISO currency codes have alphabetic and numeric representations for each currency. The ISO numeric codes range from 008 for the Albanian Lek, to 999 (which is actually a “no currency used” code). In order to conserve space in the ICO protocol, we are not using the ISO numeric representation, but are numbering the currencies in order of their alphabetic ISO code.

We then add in about 80 cryptocurrencies , so that e.g., you can specify an amount in ETH for your BCH payment to be equivalent to. We leave out tokens “tethered” to another currency or token. We left a few slots for user-defined currency codes, and for future additions.

The protocol is versioned, so these currency codes can be changed in the future if/when needed.
