Remarks

Represents a currency. Currencies are identified by their ISO 4217 currency codes. Visit the ISO web site for more information.

The class is designed so that there's never more than one Currency instance for any given currency. Therefore, there's no public constructor. You obtain a Currency instance using the getInstance methods.

It is recommended to use java.math.BigDecimal class while dealing with Currency or monetary values as it provides better handling of floating point numbers and their operations.
