How ISO 4217 currency codes work
Symbols are short and familiar, but many of them are shared: $ alone is used by more than twenty currencies, and ¥ means both the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan. The international standard ISO 4217 fixes this with a unique three-letter code for every currency. The first two letters normally match the country’s ISO 3166 code and the third comes from the currency’s name, so US + Dollar gives USD, JP + Yen gives JPY and IN + Rupee gives INR. Codes that start with X are not tied to one country, for example XAU for gold or XXX for “no currency”.
ISO 4217 also records the minor unit, the number of decimal places a currency normally uses: two for USD and EUR, zero for JPY and KRW, and three for a few currencies such as the Kuwaiti dinar (KWD). The price formatter on this page uses your browser’s built-in rules, so it follows these decimals automatically.
Tips for writing prices correctly
Follow the reader’s language. English writes €9.99, German and French write 9,99 €. Swapping only the symbol while keeping your own number format is a common mistake.
Use codes in contracts and invoices. “USD 1,500” or “1,500 USD” cannot be misread, while “$1,500” might be US, Canadian or Australian dollars.
Don’t double up. Write either $50 or 50 USD, not $50 USD, unless your style guide asks for both.
Keep the symbol with the number. In HTML, a non-breaking space ( ) between 25 and € stops the symbol from wrapping onto the next line.
Check new signs on old devices. Recently added signs such as ₾ (2015), ₿ (2017) or the Saudi riyal sign (2025) may show as boxes; add the ISO code as a fallback where it matters.
Frequently asked questions
How do I type the euro sign € on a keyboard?
On Windows hold Alt and type 0128 on the numeric keypad, or press Ctrl+Alt+E in Microsoft Word (US layout); many European keyboards use AltGr+E. On a Mac press Option+Shift+2. On phones, long-press the $ key on the number keyboard. You can also click € on this page and paste it.
What is the difference between a currency symbol and an ISO currency code?
A symbol like $ is a short visual sign that can be shared by many currencies, while an ISO 4217 code is a unique three-letter code such as USD, CAD or AUD. The first two letters usually come from the country code and the third from the currency name. Use codes in invoices, banking and international text to avoid confusion.
Which currencies use the dollar sign $?
The $ sign is used by the US, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan dollars, among others, and also by many pesos, including the Mexican, Argentine, Chilean and Colombian peso. Prefixes such as US$, C$, A$ and MX$ make the currency clear.
Do you put the currency symbol before or after the number?
It depends on the language, not the currency. In English the symbol normally goes first with no space ($25, €25, £25), while German, French, Spanish and many other languages write the amount first with a space (25 €). Symbols like ¢ always follow the number. The price formatter above shows the local convention for each country.
What are the Alt codes for currency symbols?
With Num Lock on, hold Alt and type on the numeric keypad: Alt+0128 for €, Alt+0163 for £, Alt+0165 for ¥, Alt+0162 for ¢ and Alt+0164 for ¤. Newer signs such as ₹, ₩, ₽, ₺ and ₿ have no Alt code; use Win + . (period), Word’s Alt+X with the hex code (20B9 for ₹), or copy them from this page.
Is there an official bitcoin symbol?
Yes, Unicode added the bitcoin sign ₿ (U+20BF) in version 10.0 in 2017. Bitcoin has no official ISO 4217 currency code, so exchanges use the informal codes BTC or XBT.
Why does a currency symbol show as an empty box?
Your font does not include that character yet. Signs added recently, such as the bitcoin sign (2017) or the Saudi riyal sign (Unicode 17.0, 2025), need up-to-date fonts. Use the ISO code (for example SAR) as a fallback, or switch to a font like Segoe UI Symbol or Noto Sans.
