That's embarrassing. : P

Thanks for letting us know - I think I still have the link where we grabbed the currency data to patch it in tomorrow.

I don't suppose you can supply the necessary information?

    'USD' => array(
      'code' => 'USD',
      'symbol' => '$',
      'name' => t('United States Dollar'),
      'numeric_code' => '840',
      'symbol_placement' => 'before',
      'code_placement' => '',
      'minor_unit' => t('Cent'),
      'major_unit' => t('Dollar'),
    ),

I can find the numeric_code if you don't know how to find that.

There are 2 currency codes for russian rubles, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217

Old is RUR 810 and new one is RUB 643. New code must be used in international accounting records. Оld code is used by Russian banks inside country.

    'RUR' => array(
      'code' => 'RUR',
      'symbol' => 'руб.',
      'name' => t('Russian Ruble'),
      'numeric_code' => '810',
      'symbol_placement' => 'after',
      'code_placement' => '',
      'minor_unit' => t('Kopek'),
      'major_unit' => t('Ruble'),
    ),

    'RUB' => array(
      'code' => 'RUB',
      'symbol' => 'руб.',
      'name' => t('Russian Ruble'),
      'numeric_code' => '643',
      'symbol_placement' => 'after',
      'code_placement' => '',
      'minor_unit' => t('Kopek'),
      'major_unit' => t('Ruble'),
    ),

Hmm, that's tough. I think we're only including active currencies now, but I wouldn't want to not define a currency that might be necessary to interact with banks. Do we know if any payment or accounting services actually require the deprecated code, or is it just something banks still support but alongside the new code? I'd be worried about having two of the same named currency in the site, as it could lead to confusion for users who don't know the difference.

I have consulted with our accountant and she said that the new code, 643, should be used. That code was adopted in 2001 (http://nalog.consultant.ru/doc52211.html).

If somebody really needs 810, he can enter the issue.

Thanks a lot for the research. Added it in. : )
