You need to iterate through the locales, and get currency code with this you can get all the rest

var currencies: [MyCurrency] {
    return Locale.availableIdentifiers.compactMap {
        guard let currencyCode = Locale(identifier: $0).currencyCode,
              let name = Locale.autoupdatingCurrent.localizedString(forCurrencyCode: currencyCode),
              let symbol = Locale(identifier: $0).currencySymbol  else { return nil }
        return MyCurrency(code: $0, name: name, symbol: symbol)
    }
}
