What is Foreign Currency Symbols?

Foreign currency symbols can be confusing, especially when various countries use different symbols for the same currencies.

Foreign currencies are recognized by a three letter code. The first two letters represent the country in question and the third letter for the currency used. The code for the dollar, for example, is USD ( U nited S tates D ollar), for the Euro we use EUR ( EURo) and for the Japanese Yen JPY (JaPan Yen).

Following is a list of currencies and their respective symbols, ordered alphabetically.
