The links need to be updated - (coincidentally I commented on this in the datahub http://datahub.io/dataset/iso-4217-currency-codes a couple of hours ago)

This table is not really currency codes, its country/currency codes so is denormalized so USD appears in several places as a result. The table is misnamed and less useful as a result.

Oddly too, the reference to a country is by name not by ISO 3166 code. Do you have a policy around linking/foreign keys?

Of course, some folk would use the XML 'package' directly http://www.currency-iso.org/dam/downloads/dl_iso_table_a1.xml :)
