A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
new method to class java.util.Locale
    public static String[] getISO3Countries() {

new method to class java.util.Currency
    public int getNumericCurrencyCode()
        Gets the ISO 4217 numeric currency code of this currency.

These two methods are only the most important ones.
In the case of country codes it would probably make sense to shift the handling to a new class java.util.Country (as it has been done for Currency) together with lookup methods for all iso codes to get the corresponding Country Object.

JUSTIFICATION :
for the implementation of webservices (developer friendly !) good support of the most common iso codes is crucial.
without integration of the codes in the plattform every developer has to do it (error prone) himself.
Webservice Developers often have to make sure to deal with valid codes, the platform should also help here.


ACTUAL -
The ISO3 Letter codes for iso 3166 are already included in the source code but only accessible with getISO3Country().

java.util.Currency does not yet provide the numeric equivalent for iso 4217

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
numeric currency codes iso 4217


import java.util.Hashtable;
