Hi, was this a mistake?

Marcin-TA commented 2 years ago

Hi, not really. Some of the country's currency IOS is still missing.

BenMorel commented 2 years ago

Hi, a quick search shows that the currencies you list are not in use anymore.

They're not part of the official ISO currency list, that's why they're not included in this project.

You may still use them by creating a Currency instance, though!

Hi Ben! Good idea with new Currency instance. Is that gonna be sth like new Currency('TES', 1234, 'TEST', 12344); ?

BenMorel commented 1 year ago

Yes, but only if you want 12344 decimal digits :slightly_smiling_face:

As per the docs:

use Brick\Money\Currency;
use Brick\Money\Money;

$bitcoin = new Currency(
    'XBT',     // currency code
    0,         // numeric currency code, useful when storing monies in a database; set to 0 if unused
    'Bitcoin', // currency name
    8          // default scale
);

brick / money
