Overview
This endpoint lists the currencies that we support. It's essentially a programmatic JSON version of the human readable page listing our supported currencies.
This endpoint is useful for making your application dynamically support the same currencies we offer data for. In the event that a new currency is added or one removed then this endpoint can be relied on to make sure your application stays up to date. This only happens very rarely so not all users will need to worry about this - but it's useful for those who want the extra assurance.
The JSON response also includes the name of the currency if you're looking to display these somewhere on your website or app. Please note that some include unicode characters, for instance the Mongolian Tögrög.
