Laravel - form validation on multiple options

Hi I've a select box (Currency) where user can select multiple currencies.

How can I have it validates each value to make sure the string min/max length are 3 and also alpha values? I tried only min/max and it thinks only allow at least 3 items and not min/max length of each value.

    $this->validate(request(), [
        'currencies' => 'required|array'
    ]);

You can check currencies is an array of distinct values, and each value is a 3-character string like this:

'currencies' => 'required|array|min:1',
'currencies.*' => 'distinct|alpha|size:3',

This will check every item in currencies array

'currencies.*' => 'size:3|alpha_num'
