Wrong symbol for currency RON

[a-cristi]

In iso_currencies.rs the Romanian Leu is defined as:

        RON : {
            exponent: 2,
            iso_alpha_code: "RON",
            iso_numeric_code: "946",
            locale: EnEu,
            minor_units: 1,
            name: "Romanian Leu",
            symbol: "ر.ق",
            symbol_first: false,
        },

The symbol should be L (see the wikipedia page for the currency).

There are 2 currencies for Romania according to ISO-4217:

Alpha Code	Numeric Code	Digits after decimal separator	Currency name	Alternative currency name
RON	946	2	Romanian leu	Romanian new leu
ROL	642	0	Romanian leu	Romanian old leu

@a-cristi, is this issue fixed for you now?

[a-cristi]

Yes, this is fixed now. The RON is the currently used currency, I guess you could name the ROL one as "Romanian old Leu" to distinguish between them, but I'm not sure if that is actually correct or not.

As far as the symbols go this is now correct however. Thank you!

I found the ISO-4217 current curries list. Seems RON has minor units = 2, not 1, as we have currently. I will create a new PR to fix this. The name is correct though.

And the historic currencies list also from ISO-4217, the correct name for ROL shows up as "Old Leu":

We should use the current standard name for RON and the historic currencies list name for the old ROL currency.

Does everyone agree to this?

I need some clarification. Does rusty_money, in defining currencies, use exponent to mean the power to raise the radix (base) to, in order to get the floating point position?

And does it use minor_units to represent the smallest coin amount, i.e. 1 for GBP means 1 pence (1/100 of a pound sterling)? For USD the setup is the same, only that 1 "minor_units" means 1 cent?
