Conclusão
Moeda symbols provide quick visual recognition, while ISO codes ensure unambiguous identification—essential quando multiple currencies share o mesmo symbol. O dollar sign ($) alone could mean over 20 diferente currencies, so international contexts require either ISO codes (USD, CAD, AUD) ou qualified symbols (US$, C$, A$). Understanding ambos systems helps navigate global finance, viagem, e international business.
