Talk:ISO 4217

There is also a list at http://www.xe.net/iso4217.htm
It's in the link above Currency_codes.Maybe just move that here??
- The page at http://www.xe.net/iso4217.htm doesn't really list ISO 4217 codes. As it says at the top of the page, the codes it lists are the ones that are used in practice, which are not always the ISO 4217 codes. --Zundark, 2001 Dec 31
Shouldn't Currency_codes and ISO 4217 be merged into one page? -- poslfit, 2001-12-31
Most of the stuff currently at Currency codes is about ISO 4217, so it should be moved to ISO 4217. But we might still want a separate article about currency codes, if there are others currency codes that should be mentioned. --Zundark, 2001 Dec 31

Before or after?
In the course of a discussion somewhere else, I got to wondering whether the standard defines how these "names" should be used: before the value (like a symbol: "£10" becomes "GBP 10") or after it (like a word: "10 pounds" becomes "10 GBP"). I've seen both in use, but I wondered if one or the other was officially "correct". Anybody know? - IMSoP 17:42, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Standards
There is a Wikipedia:Requested move to move the Dong (currency) to Vietnamese dong. I notice that most, but not all pages follow the pattern of "country currency". I think all that can, should be moved into this format. There are a number where this will not be approprite EG the Euro. There are also some where "common (English) usage" may dictate another page name eg "Pound Sterling". But I think for the majority of currencies they should be in the format "country currency name" in line with ISO 4217. Also I think that the currency should start with an upper case letter eg "United States Dollar" instead of "United States dollar". What do others think? Philip Baird Shearer 09:58, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
