Hi @sureshvigneshbe. I don't have a list of currency symbols that Yahoo Finance supports. You could try to search their website. I also can't do anything in quantmod to fix when a data provider returns incorrect data. You could try using a different data provider, like Oanda or Tiingo. You could also try FRED or Quandl (using their package).

I'm going to close this because there's nothing I can do in quantmod to fix it, but please feel free to continue to ask follow-up questions. I'll do what I can to help.
