Introduction

A language-independent library that provides metadata for current and historic currencies:

• ISO 4217 currency codes and numbers
• Currency signs
• The number of decimals a currency has
• Where (ISO 3166 country codes) and when (ISO 8601 dates) currencies were and are used
• Fixed exchange rates (usually historic)

Usage

• Currency information is stored in YAML files in /resources.
• PHP helpers:
  • \BartFeenstra\Currency\Currency is a basic class that serves as a container and a controller for working with the YAML resources.
  • \BartFeenstra\Curency\Input contains a parser for user input.
