− | The [http://www.ifxforum.org IFX Forum] develops a robust framework for the electronic business-to-business exchange of data among financial service institutions around the world".

− | Altough adapted to XML implementations, the IFX data model has been designed independently of XML technologies, so that it can be implemented using other representations than XML.

− | IFX defines the concept of a currency amount (CurAmt), which contains:
| |
− | :an amount (Amt), which is a decimal value
| |

| |

| |
− | | |
− | <blockquote>There are various common abbreviations to distinguish the Canadian dollar from others: while the ISO currency code CAD (a three-character code without monetary symbols) is common, no single system is universally accepted. C$ is recommended by the Canadian government (e.g., per The Canadian Style guide) and is used by the International Monetary Fund, while Editing Canadian English indicates Can$ and CDN$; both guides note the ISO scheme/code. The abbreviation CA$ is also used, e.g., in some software packages.</blockquote>
