Hi,

Documentation here: https://xrpl.org/docs/references/protocol/data-types/currency-formats#currency-codes

Says that non-standard currency codes are "uncommon" (which in my view has changed recently). We keep getting asked by XRPL projects if it's OK to use them given that we seem to be "discouraging" their use.

Can we please remove the "uncommon" language?

In addition, the non-standard currency code that is used as an example doesn't translate into relevant text (please let me know if I'm mistaken). Can we please have a more concrete example? It could be the conversion of the word GOLD, for example, as opposed to "XAU"

I would also try to explain that most interfaces that read currency codes translate them into ASCII if needed when the currency code is non standard. Thanks!
