 java.util.Currency
| Currency | | final public class Currency implements Serializable(Code) | | Represents a currency. Currencies are identified by their ISO 4217 currency
codes. See the
ISO 4217 maintenance agency for more information, including a table of
currency codes.
The class is designed so that there's never more than one
Currency instance for any given currency. Therefore, there's
no public constructor. You obtain a Currency instance using
the getInstance methods.
