Along with Money, as you have already noticed, Currencies are also provided. In many methods you have to pass a Currency object.

In order to get a specific currency:

use PostScripton\Money\Currency;

$usd = Currency::code('USD');
$usd = Currency::code('usd');
$usd = Currency::code('840');

$usd = currency('USD');
$usd = currency('usd');
$usd = currency('840');

❗ Only international codes such as USD / 840, EUR / 978, RUB / 643 and so on should be used as a code. (And your own currencies' codes 😉)

Remember that all the settings, which are applied to a currency will be saved for the next times.

use PostScripton\Money\CurrencyDisplay;

$usd = currency('usd');
$usd->setDisplay(CurrencyDisplay::Code);

$usd = currency('usd');
$usd->getDisplay(); // CurrencyDisplay::Code

You can also get or change some data from Currency object:

1. Default currency
2. Information
3. Position
4. Display
5. Preferred symbol
6. Collection methods
