Hi,

is there a method to validate a given 3-letter ISO currency code, eg AUD,USD
etc and retrieve associated data such as symbol ($ etc) and # of decimals?
Or a way of enumerating thru the known set of these would be good enough. I
can only see these features via a culture, usimg
System.Globalization.RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.CurrencySymbol. I suppose
that a way of enumerating thru all known cultures would also suffice. Any
ideas?

TIA

Radek
