(In reply to M. Tompsett from comment #9)

This is what lead me to originally write the patch

>From bug 9593, comment 46 :

"Moreover, an 'isocode' column had been added in currency table (editable in
the pro interface from Administration/Currencies and exchange rates). So the
active currency can be picked either through its symbol or through its iso
code."

>From bug 9593, comment 68 :

"I agree, the default data convention is for the "Currency" field to be the ISO
code. However, that doesn't mean that everyone is currently following this
convention. I *don't* think this is a blocker. I could easily see the Currency
being "Brazilian real" while the ISO code would be "BRL". Since not everyone
memorizes ISO codes for currency, I think this may be an improvement anyway."

and then Galen pointing out in bug 9593, comment 76 :

"Note that currency.currency is only a varchar(10)."
