GlideCurrencyCode - Scoped, Global

The GlideCurrencyCode API provides methods to convert between ISO 4217 alphabetic and numeric codes for a currency.

Currency code information is also available in the Currency [fx_currency] table, but this API has built-in caching that minimizes the queries issued to fx_currency.

Use this API to work with third-party APIs that use numeric currency codes, such as credit card network systems.

This API requires the FX Currency (com.glide.currency2) plugin, which is available by default. This API is provided within the sn_currency namespace.
