Issue with ha-Latn-NG currency ISO4217?
Using .Net 4, both Nicaragua and Nigeria report ISO4217 "NIO", with Nicaragua being correct. Nigeria should be "NGN". Has this already been addressed and I'm missing a patch?

Wrong ISOCurrencySymbol on .NET 4.0 for Romania

Getting: ROL
Correct Value: RON (as documented)

The Property Value Is Correct

In the .NET Framework 4, the ISOCurrencySymbol property for Romania returns RON, as the documentation indicates. However, in the .NET Framework 3.5 and previous versions, the property returned ROL. I suspect your code was actually running under an earlier version of the .NET Framework.
