# currency

In what currency this price is presented.

## Remarks

Best Practice: Although this is an optional attribute, best practice would be to include it for every price where it is known. The attribute can take any value, but best practice is to use the ISO 4217 “currency code” values. These are 3-letter, all upper case codes that are NOT the same as the ISO country codes. Examples include:

USD | United States Dollar in the US and US territories
CAD | Canadian Dollar
EUR | European Union Euro
RUB | Russian Ruble

These codes are defined by ISO in ISO 4217 and listed at: http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/popstds/currencycodeslist.html#SZ.
