Package: iso-codes Version: 1.4-1 Severity: wishlist Venezuela will have a new currency, starting Jan 1 2008. The currency is named 'Bolívar Fuerte', letter code VEF, number code 937. Obviously, ISO has already granted a number code (which is 937) for the new currency, but official sources might be found in spanish at [1].
Please find attached the proposed diff for iso_4127.xml for your review and consideration. Thanks for your time, Jose [1] http://www.reconversionbcv.org.ve/www/inicio.asp
