The currency list hasn't been properly maintained for the last 4-5 years. While most currencies haven't changed since then, a handful currencies have become obsolete and countries have started using new ones (mostly due to inflation or migration to the euro). The list should be checked for outdated information, and we should add the currency information as listed at ISO 4217 - Wikipedia.

xanoI would like to parse all current and historical currencies from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO4217 into the format we have for 7.x-1.x. For 7.x-2.x (later, in another issue) we can then add extra information such as the period of time the currencies were used in, the currencies they were replaced by, etc.
