public class CurrencyGetCurrencyCodeExample {

	public static void main(String[] args) {	
		
		// create an instance of Currency class
		Currency currency = Currency.getInstance("NZD");
		// prints the default currency fraction digit of New Zealand Dollar
		out.println("Result="+currency.getDefaultFractionDigits());
