The currency-formatter package allows for formatting numbers as currency strings, including the appropriate currency symbol. It is more focused on formatting and includes options for locale-specific formatting, making it more versatile for applications that need to display formatted currency values.
The iso-currency package provides ISO 4217 currency codes and their associated information, including symbols. It is similar to currency-codes but focuses specifically on ISO standards, making it a good choice for applications that need to adhere to these standards.
