Currency code of three letters of alphabet which makes explosion of currency conversion of Google search

Calculation was possible in 3 seconds depending on the currency. Google search includes useful functions such as calculator, unit conversion, and package tracking. It also has currency conversion function, so you can convert foreign currency such as US dollar and euro to Japanese yen.

Hello,Takuya Sudo @ circle around the world bicycle @ Charridermanis. When writing articles to be posted on GIGAZINE and blogs, we use Google search to convert local currency into Japanese Yen. I also use the smartphone currency conversion application, but it is easy to use Google if the situation is available for the Internet. Learning the three letter alphabetical currency code makes the work much more efficient.

First of all basic
Enter "number + currency name" in Google's search box and click the search button. Then the yen value of the currency you entered is displayed in the search result.

I entered "1 dollar", "109.146475 yen" was displayed. This "dollar" is the American dollar, and the same result is obtained even with "1 US dollar", "1 US dollar" and "1 dollar" besides this.


I entered "1 euro", it was displayed as 124.131194 yen. The euro is a common currency used within the European Union.


When entering "1 ruble", it was displayed as 1.64854835 yen. The ruble is the currency of Russia.


However, this is the search result of Google.co.jp. Search results will be based on US dollars on Google.com in the United States. Even on Google.com, the search results are displayed on a yen basis if the language is Japanese, and the mechanism is complicated.

When I entered "1euro" on Google.com that set the language setting to English, I got the display 1.12US Dollar. It means 1 euro = 1,12 US dollars. There are pulldown menus and graphs in search results, and Google.com is ahead.


I investigated this article using Google.co.jp. Language is also set to Japanese. The browser uses Chrome, but to prevent the personal search history from being reflected,Secret mode (private browsing)Search by.

The currency conversion function of Google search is also introduced in the official.

◆ Use currency code
I input "1 ringgit", but it was an ordinary search result. Ringgit is Malaysian currency.


After inputting "1 MYR", currency conversion is possible with 28.6175517 yen.


I entered "10000 rupiah", but it was an ordinary search result. Rupiah is Indonesian currency.


When entering "10000 IDR", currency conversion is possible with 84.9636669 yen.


This three letter alphabet,International Organization for Standardization (ISO)Stipulated inISO 4217It is the currency code. The first two characters are the country name code defined in ISO 3166-1, the remaining one is the initial letter of the currency.

The currency codes of the two countries mentioned above,
· MY (Malaysia) + R (ringgit) = MYR
· ID (Indonesia) + R (Rupiah) = IDR
It is a mechanism. If you remember these 3-letter currency codes, the speed of currency conversion using Google search will rise inconsistently.

"1AUD" was 86.2101733 yen. It is Australian dollar.


"1 FJD" was 54.0291783 yen. It is Fiji dollar.


"1 GBP" was 161.017328 yen. It is British pound.


"1 EEGP" was 12.5854667 yen. It is Egyptian pound.


"20INR" was 33.5405254 yen. It is Indian · rupee.


"25 BRL" was 783.269983 yen. It is Brazilian Real.


Even if you enter numbers + Egyptian pounds, numbers + Indian rupee, the same result will come out. However, input is troublesome as the character becomes long after all. There is no enemy for entering three letters of currency code.

◆ How to use TO
This three-letter currency code, but there are currencies that can not be converted in rare cases. For example, currency conversion can not be done although you entered "10 PHP". PHP is the Philippine peso currency code.


In such a case, currency conversion becomes possible by adding "TO JPY (to jpy)". JPY is the Japanese yen's currency code.

"10 PHP to jpy" was 23.920626 yen.


"10000 VND to jpy" is 50.3074343 yen. VND is the currency code of Vietnamese Dong.


This TO can be calculated freely by changing the currency code before and after.

"100USD to thb" is 3508.0334 Thai baht. As a guide when exchanging US $ 100 in Thailand.


"1000INR to npr" became 1596.87034 Nepalese rupee. Since I had exchange of Indian rupees for 1000 in Nepal, I tried it up as an example.


◆ ISO 4217
Wikipedia'sISO 4217A list of three letters of currency codes is lined up in the item named. It will be repeated, but the first two lettersISO 3166-1It is the country code defined in, and the remaining one character is the initial letter of the currency.

· JPY (Japanese Yen)
JP is Japan in Japan, Y is YEN in Yen.

· THB (Thai Baht)
TH is Thai at THAI and B at BAHT.

· CLP (Chilean Peso)
CL is Chile and Chile, P is Peso.

It is a mechanism.


The two-letter country code defined in ISO 3166-1 used for currency codes isCountry code top level domainと同じだったりします。Googleでいうと、日本が「https://www.google.co.Jp」、タイが「https://www.google.co.Th」、チリが「https://www.google.Cl"Corresponds to the end of each address.

There are also some codes that do not come with a pin.

· ZAR (South African Rand)
It is derived from the combination of "Zuid-Afrika" and "Rand" which express South Africa in Dutch. When it is English, it becomes South Africa and the country code of SA is compliant, since Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabia) used SA before, ZA taken from the historically related Dutch was divided by country I am using it for the code.

· CHF (Swiss franc)
It is derived from the combination of the country name "Confoederatio Helvetica" and "franc" by Latin in Switzerland. Switzerland, German and Schweizerische in English, Suisse in French and Svizzera in Italian, the word Switzerland is basically S. I do not know unless you know the country code for CH.

There are currency codes that can not be read unless you know the meaning.

◆ Denomi Currency


TR is TURKEY and Turkey, L is LIRA lira. Turkish lira is the currency that should be displayed by TRL originally. However, the currency code of the current Turkish lira is TRY. The reason why such a shift occursdenominationThere was.

In the past Turkish lira of TRL was also circulated. However, due to the inflation of the currency, the face value has stepped up. Up to 20 million lilies of banknotes were circulating in front of denomi. If the figure becomes large so far, it will be difficult to calculate your fishing and booking books, and it will hurt your daily life as well. In order to solve these problems, the Turkish government carried out denomination denominations of 1/10000 and issued TRY's new Turkish lira with a smaller face value than the existing currency. Banknotes of 20 million lira (TRL) have been exchanged for 20 lira (TRY) notes.


Raise an example of a denominated currency,
· MXN (Mexican peso): Before denomi MXP
· ZMW (Zambia · Kwacha): Before Denomi ZMK
· RON (Romania · Leu): Ren before Denomi
· ZWL (Zimbabwe · Dollar): Before Denomi ZWD, ZWN, ZWR, ZWL
there is ........., ........., etc.

There is a difference between the alphabet of the current currency code and the alphabet of the currency name that is distributed. Zimbabwe, whose economy collapsed due to hyperinflation, had its currency code changed four times.

◆ X currency
There are various kinds of money in the world, but not all independent countries are issuing their own currency. Some currencies are used in several countries like the Euro of the European Union (EUR). These currencies were assigned currency codes starting with X. X is an alphabet to use when representing unknown like "Mr X", "X file", "X rays". The four currencies with the initial letter X were distinct from the other currencies.


XAF (CFA franc): Distribution in Central African countries
XCD (East Caribbean Doll): Distribution in the Caribbean countries
XOF (CFA franc): Distribution in West African countries
XPF (CFP franc): Distribution on the French overseas territory of the Pacific Ocean

All currencies could be expressed in three letters of alphabet. By using this currency code and Google search, you can travel abroad more conveniently.

Even if you are reading a blog from around the world and wrote that "I stayed at a cheap 40 Bolivia in Bolivia", I do not know how much it will cost in Japanese yen. In such a case Google40 BOB"Please search. The answer will be displayed soon.
