Which countries suffix their currency and how much is this stuck to?

score:6

Accepted answer

In all cases where the currency does not have a symbol, it is appended with its ISO code; this is also the case where the symbol is not standardized.

Wikipedia has a currency symbol entry where you can see various abbreviations used for currencies; note not all are symbols (a single glyph).

The general rule is, unless its a symbol it is always post-fixed:

  • 123,456.78 KD (Kuwaiti Dinar) and not KD 123,456.78
  • $123,456 and 123,456 USD
  • β‚±23.34 and not 23.34β‚± but 23.34 PhP or 23.34 PHP

In all international transactions, the ISO4217 code is used as this is what is supported by the main interchange systems and networks (like SWIFT).
