I'm not disputing that it's used; you've said "...other currency codes
(besides ISO 4127) could be used..."; and I'm asking what currency code
uses CDN. Seems you can't name one.
I think I understand you question now.
The answer is that I do NOT think this is any body like ISO or ANSI
that has "CDN" as a currency code.
It is only a defacto standard used by Canadians. (And maybe others...
but I don't have enough info to confirm or deny that.)
See ya
