Currencies Potentially Missing

Open ghost opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Hi I am putting together a basic geography resource for Currency, Country, City. I'm using your resource for Currency and RestCountries.eu for Countries.

When I ran a comparison I found 5 currencies which are included in RestCountries but not your list so I thought you might find it useful for me to highlight them, in case they are not missing for a reason...

BYN - New Belarussian Ruble (You have the old one BYR) XAF - Central African Franc CDF - Congalese Franc SHP - St Helena Pound STD - Sao Thom and Principle Dobra.

BYN was fixed in #11

MRU is also missing.

If possible, it would also be great to try to include if the currency is still in circulation or not (retired from ISO I guess).

Some mapping mechanism might also be helpful.

It's a bit tricky with historic data. If you take BYR going to BYN for example... anything removed can break integrity for any historic data.

I think BYN should have actually resulted in a new entry rather than an old one, with maybe some mapping info on the old. Such as retired and replaced with....
