Does anyone know how to get the names corresponding to the currencies available from FinancialData? If you use the command below you get a list of 153 currencies - some of which are obscure so i was hoping to generate the names!
currencyTickers = FinancialData["Currencies"]
Also, why does FinancialData not give historical data for say GBP/USD? EUR/USD works, albeit over a limited time span, so you would think the data would be there for sterling. Several others don't work either.... perhaps this is a data server issue?
