Yes ;-)  it's simple:

- CurrencyID should be the ISO 4217 code, the element is currently not
  used in OOo, but may in future for a real ID, instead of BankSymbol
  that currently serves that purpose. Currently the content is a wild
  mixture of names, symbols and IDs, I'll adjust that in all locale data
  over time.

- BankSymbol is the ISO 4217 code as well, that one is used for display
  purposes for example in bank exchange. In future it _might_ differ
  from ISO 4217, but I doubt it will.

- CurrencySymbol is the display symbol used with amounts.

- CurrencyName is the name the currency is called in the native
  language.
