}The Currency object
A currency represents either a built-in ISO 4217 currency or a user-defined currency in a multi-currency QuickBooks company file. Built-in currencies have standardized names and codes and support automatic exchange-rate downloads in the QuickBooks UI. User-defined currencies behave the same in QuickBooks but their exchange rates are never auto-updated; you must maintain rates yourself.
The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this currency. This ID is unique across all currencies but not across different QuickBooks object types.
"80000001-1234567890"
The type of object. This value is always "qbd_currency".
"qbd_currency""qbd_currency"
The date and time when this currency was created, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
"2025-01-01T12:34:56.000Z"
The date and time when this currency was last updated, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
"2025-02-01T12:34:56.000Z"
The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of this currency object, which changes each time the object is modified. When updating this object, you must provide the most recent revisionNumber to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error.
"1721172183"
The case-insensitive unique name of this currency, unique across all currencies. For built-in currencies, the name is the internationally accepted currency name and is not editable.
NOTE: Currencies do not have a fullName field because they are not hierarchical objects, which is why name is unique for them but not for objects that have parents.
"United States Dollar"
Indicates whether this currency is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to true.
true
The internationally accepted currency code used by this currency, typically based on the ISO 4217 standard (for example, USD for US Dollars). Built-in QuickBooks currencies follow ISO 4217. For user-defined currencies, following ISO 4217 is recommended but not required. In many cases, the three-letter code is formed from the country's two-letter internet code plus a currency letter (e.g., BZ + D → BZD for Belize Dollar).
"USD"
Controls how this currency displays thousands separators, grouping, and decimal places.

The date when the exchange rate for this currency was last updated, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD).
