- you can define a custom currency for discontinued or cryptocurrency
When you define a custom currency, please take care of the following:
- the Name must be at least 3 chars long
- the ISO code is optional, but you cannot change it easily later on
- the ISO code must be 3 chars long and cannot be the same an existing ISO 4217 one
This is an extra feature relying on a third party web service.
