Currency
A unit of money used to express value, with an ISO 4217 code. Values are keyed by the lowercase alphabetic code. Starter subset: three currencies. No alias is a bare word or symbol that several currencies share ("dollar", "$"): the US dollar is "US dollar", "US dollars" or "US$", so another dollar can be added without a collision.
