This is completely untrue in England too. I have two bank accounts
with two different large high street banks and have just spent five
minutes looking at statements from them both. There is definitely no
ISO code. I have also tried two newspapers, a utility bill, half a
dozen invoices and I am none the wiser. If I was given an hour to find
it offline I think I would fail (and I still have no clue what it is).
I guess Google or Wikipedia would work but I have never heard of an
ISO code for currency even though I have traveled to 48 countries etc
etc...
