Currency Symbols in ASCII - Anyone Know a Comprehensive Resource?

[neophyte]

Hello All -

I'm on a project where I need to load a database with the ascii codes (if at all possible) for the currency symbols of over a hundred currencies - as well as currency numeric formats for each.

After searching through a ton of sites (particularly foreign exchange venues) I've found most of what I need, but there's about 15 (mostly Arabic) currencies I just can't find the ascii symbols or numeric currency formats for.

Anyone else have this challenge before? Anyone know of the definitive site that has "all" currency symbols in ascii format - as well as currency numeric formats?

All guidance greatly appreciated!

Do you mean the ISO 4217 [google.com] currency codes? You could buy the standard at the ISO standardization organization. They provide the standard in a PDF download.

lammert - Thanks for the reply.

I've already got the ISO information for the currencies (Alphabetic and Numeric currency codes). What I'm after are the currency symbols in acsii format.

For example: ascii for the US Dollar symbol is #36 ascii for the Philippine peso is #8369 and so on. This is what I'm in need of for the Slovenian Tolar, the Moroccan Dirham, the Libyan Dinar and others.

I'm also looking for the a description of number formats for many of these currencies - i.e. US dollar is #,###.##, Syrian Pound is # ###,### and so on.

Hope that makes it clearer. There must be a site somewhere that lists everything - I just haven't been able to find it.
