# localizedString(forCurrencyCode:)

Returns the localized string for the specified currency code.

## Declaration

```swift
func localizedString(forCurrencyCode currencyCode: String) -> String?
```

## Parameters

- `currencyCode`: The code for the currency whose name you want.

## Return Value

Return Value The localized name of the currency.

## Discussion

Discussion For example, calling this method on an American English (en_US) locale, passing "JPY" for currencyCode, produces the string "Japanese Yen". This method is equivalent to calling the displayName(forKey:value:) method passing the currencyCode key and currencyCode value.
