The codes from `currency-codes` are out-of-date

The currency-codes package is 4 years out-of-date and looks like it is dead. The ISO 4217 standard has had many updates since that time, but the package does not reflect them.

• update XML location to current value, resync freeall/currency-codes#39

That could result in this package throwing errors when trying to find the decimal value of legitimate currencies that currency-codes does not know about.

We can probably replace the dependency with Intl.NumberFormat.resolvedOptions, the cons is that its currency support is limited by the host

I did a quick search and found some options you could consider:

• currency-codes-ts - Forked from the package you use, designed for TypeScript, but hasn't been updated in 10 months
• @holm/currency-codes-ts - Forked from the above, slightly different, but also hasn't been updated in 8 months
• @iso4217/json - Contains all the currency info as a JSON, so not as easy to access in JS, updated automatically so always guaranteed to be up-to-date

I think maybe a change where you can bring your own mapping could be useful.

It is not a problem to use a currency-codes module that does not update regulary as there are probably few changes to the currencies and for most use case it is only a limited currencies that a user will care about
