Currency API

GET /currency/{code}

Pass USD, EUR, or JPY and get back the currency name, symbol, decimal places, and which countries use it.

Need a rate? /currency/usd/eur returns the daily reference rate from central banks, with the publish date. Built for display and estimates, not for settling trades.

Useful in checkout, localization, and anywhere you need a currency identifier resolved. /country/{code} already returns a currency code, come here for the full record, symbol and all.
