Favor ISO 4217 denotation for currencies

Sam Figueroa requested to merge use-standard-currency-notation into main

Why is this change being made?

Favor ISO 4217 denotation for currencies.

As an international company I propose we label currencies with the international standard defined in ISO 4217 to provide users with the least amount of surprise.

ISO 4217:2015 is intended for use in any application of trade, commerce and banking, where currencies and, where appropriate, funds are required to be described. It is designed to be equally suitable for manual users and for those employing automated systems. -- https://www.iso.org/standard/64758.html
