Is there a way to have a list of all the currencies from the iphone api?

I wanted to allow the user to choose a currency from a list of currencies. Do i have to hardcode all the currencies in the code or can i get it from the api, somehow.

CFLocaleCopyCommonISOCurrencyCodes();

[NSLocale commonISOCurrencyCodes];
[NSLocale ISOCurrencyCodes];

Use [NSLocale ISOCurrencyCodes]. It gives you an array of all the ISO currency codes as strings.

Since the list of world currencies doesn't change that often, you could go get some current definitive list and add them to your bundle as a property list (an array of strings, if that works, or a dictionary). You can load the plist with framework methods such as dictionaryWithContentsOfFile or arrayWithContentsOfFile. Storing the list in a resource is preferable to hard-coding them into your app; and since that list doesn't change that often, I don't see any reason to load them from the internet every time.
