Currency Codes

[KitWallace]

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 :)

@KitWallace can you do a pull request? iso 3166 codes would be best.

But should country be there at all? Maybe both the country/currency table and a factored currency table would be better? Looking more closely at the data, I see that an additional country code would be needed because entity is not always a country.

Moving to datasets/currency-codes#1 where it should be (registry is just for new datasets)
