Wide range of currencies Avoid the confusion of similar currency names
If you are travelling to a country that widely accepts two currencies, it is good to know the currency symbol and code beforehand to avoid confusion. Countries such as Barbados widely accept USD (United States Dollars) and BBD (Barbadian Dollars). You can learn more about what currency is accepted in your country of travel in our currency guides.
Currency codes are usually easy to guess
Currency codes, also known as ISO 4217, typically use the first two letters to refer to the name of the country and the third to refer to the currency name. An example of this is AUD (Australian Dollars). However, there are acceptations to the rule such as EUR (Euro).
When to use currency symbols or codes?
Typically it depends on the purpose. For example, you can often find currency symbols (i.e. £, $, €) displayed in shops, but the currency code displayed on official documents such as invoices or even train tickets.
