How to search the currency table

One row per country or area, 135 in all: the currency name as used locally, its ISO English name, the symbol used before the three-letter code, the code itself, and the subunit expression such as 1 HKD = 100 cents. Africa accounts for 41 rows, Asia 34, Europe 28, the Americas 28 and Oceania 4.

It is a reference table, not a converter. No exchange rate appears anywhere in it and none is fetched when the page loads, so read it beside a live rate source rather than instead of one: what it answers is what a currency is called, what it used to be abbreviated to, and how it is divided.

Start typing in the box above the table. Rows are filtered on the keystroke — there is no button to submit — and the line under the box counts what is left: 28 of 135 entries for eur.

Search by whichever part you remember: a country (kenya), a currency (dollar, 17 rows), a code (CNY, 1 row) or a subunit (cents, 32 rows). Every column is indexed, the continent and the subunit text included.

Empty the box with Clear, with the Esc key or by deleting the text, and all 135 rows come back. Press / to jump into the box from anywhere on the page.

Take a row out with its copy button: the seven cells land in the clipboard as tab-separated text and paste into a spreadsheet as seven columns.

What the table covers, and what it does not

The seven columns

Each row is one country or area and appears once: country, local currency name, ISO English name, old symbol, standard three-letter code, subunit expression and continent.

The old-symbol column keeps the notation used before codes became standard — HK＄ for Hong Kong, RMB￥ for China, ESC. for Portugal, S.RP(S) for the Seychelles — including the full-width dollar and pound signs of the source. Searching the narrow ASCII $ finds nothing; the full-width ＄ finds 21 rows.

Current codes sit next to retired ones

The code column is not limited to currencies in use today. Beside USD, JPY, CNY and EUR it lists the German mark (DEM), the French franc (FRF), the Italian lira (ITL), the Spanish peseta (ESP), the Dutch guilder (NLG) and the rest of the euro-era currencies (BEF, ATS, IEP, PTE, FIM, LUF).

Two codes carry several rows because one currency serves several countries: XOF covers the six West African CFA franc rows — Senegal, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, Benin and Niger — and XAF the five Central African ones. The Russia row carries SUR, the code of the Soviet ruble, and the Zaïre row carries ZRZ.

How the search reads the table

Matching ignores case and stays literal: the filter lower-cases both sides and compares plain substrings, so a bracket or an asterisk is just a character. Searching ( returns the 3 rows that have a parenthesis somewhere in a cell.

The continent column is indexed like any other, which is why eur and europe return the same 28 rows. A query that matches nothing leaves the table empty and the counter reading 0 of 135 entries — there is no error state to recover from.

What the page does not do

It does not convert and it does not quote rates. Filtering the whole table sends no request at all — the work happens in the tab — and the table is plain HTML, so it keeps working once the page has loaded.

Read the codes as the compiled reference they are and check one against a current ISO 4217 list before quoting it, because rows here also describe currencies that no longer exist. The same table engine drives the capital list (195 rows) and the dialling-code list (250 rows).
