I always find it useful to share publicly those tasks I find myself carrying out many many times, almost robotically. In fact, I’d like for there to be a worker bot (soft AI not hard, and software not hard… we don’t need a Terminator style takeover) to do my dirty work for me.

Well, until such a helpful little worker bot exists, I’ll have to settle for blogging and sharing via Social Networks to appease my data reuse and job simplification desires. Here’s some data for International Currency information that I end up using in many databases (and I’ve added to my upcoming OpenRecommender project, to shamelessly plug my projects).

The following are the ISO-4217 Currency Codes of the (not including money symbols) of the current global financial system…
Currency code:

To save you a dig through the source, here’s the HTML for a quick Select drop-down box:

Next up, a nice raw MySQL dump you can use in your own application:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `currency` (
  `currency_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `currency_name` varchar(64) default NULL,
  `currency_code` char(3) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`currency_id`),
  KEY `idx_currency_name` (`currency_name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ;

    It was great to discover your site recently. I came here just hoping to uncover interesting insight into IT and background behind currency codes and was not disappointed. Your ideas on new approaches on this subject material were informative and a fantastic help to me personally. Thank you for having time to write out these things as well as for sharing your thoughts.

    You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The web needs and hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to say how they believe. All the time follow your heart.

BC$ = Behavior, Content, Money

The goal of the BC$ project is to raise awareness and make changes with respect to the three pillars of information freedom - Behavior (pursuit of interests and passions), Content (sharing/exchanging ideas in various formats), Money (fairness and accessibility) - bringing to light the fact that:

1. We regularly hand over our browser histories, search histories and daily online activities to companies that want our money, or, to benefit from our use of their services with lucrative ad deals or sales of personal information.

2. We create and/or consume interesting content on their services, but we aren't adequately rewarded for our creative efforts or loyalty.

3. We pay money to be connected online (and possibly also over mobile), yet we lose both time and money by allowing companies to market to us with unsolicited advertisements, irrelevant product offers and unfairly structured service pricing plans.
