- who knows the 3-character ISO code for the currency he uses
Come on, every bank statement of yours will tell you the ISO code of the currency your account is in, you will probably find it on every magazine that you read and so on and so on. Please don't tell me that this is such an academic thing...
Maybe where you live. In my country, the only symbol commonly used to indicate quantities of currency is "$".

You've never gotten anything from Canada and had to compare Canadian dollars (CAD) to United States dollars (USD)?
No, but I have had to compare C$ with $, and occasionally with AU$.

I don't know about the creators of the survey, but to tell you the truth, I had never expected that people don't know the ISO code of their own currency. It's something I assume that they never expected it either, how common or uncommon it might be.
