Currency codes
Currencies are specified using three-letter currency codes (ISO 4217 alpha-3). The number of decimals determines how to express the currency amounts in minor units.
Code | Currency | Decimals |
---|---|---|
AUD | Australian dollar | 2 |
BRL | Brazilian real | 2 |
CAD | Canadian dollar | 2 |
CHF | Swiss franc | 2 |
CNY | Chinese yuan | 2 |
EUR | Euro | 2 |
GBP | Pound sterling | 2 |
HKD | Hong Kong dollar | 2 |
INR | Indian rupee | 2 |
JPY | Japanese yen | 0 |
KES | Kenyan shilling | 2 |
KRW | South-Korean won | 0 |
MXN | Mexican peso | 2 |
NOK | Norwegian krone | 2 |
NZD | New Zealand dollar | 2 |
RUB | Russian ruble | 2 |
SEK | Swedish krone | 2 |
SGD | Singapore dollar | 2 |
TRY | New Turkish lira | 2 |
USD | US dollar | 2 |
ZAR | South African rand | 2 |
Minor units
Monite API expects that currency amounts are specified in minor units, that is the smallest unit of a currency such as cents or pennies. For example, $10.95 is represented as 1095 (in cents).
Most of the supported currencies have two decimals, meaning you would multiply the currency amount by 100 to get the value in minor units.
Zero-decimal currencies, such as JPY and KRW, do not have minor units. These currencies require an amount in the regular denomination. For example, 50 JPY is represented as 50.
