@Nicolas Bessi
I got private message from Eric CAUDAL that he is working on that. I have informed him I am only improver of the module and you are first author. He should contact you.

@OpenERP
It is quite funny to name this "convention". I think it is regression to previous convention. Previously we had "name" and usually "code" field. Usually "name" was for longer name (sometimes with translation) and "code" for abbreviation without translation. Now you moved information from field "code" to "name" and added other field named "symbol" removing field "code".

In ver 5.0 we had always field "name" and we had to guess what is the name of abbreviation field.
Sometimes it was named "code" (fe. account, currency), sometimes "ref" (product, partner), sometimes "description" (tax, tax codes).

Now you improved "convention" to have 4th choice "symbol" and moved
abbreviated information to field "name". In my opinion it is regression
to former convention. I don't think it was any problem to leave it as it
was before.

You didn't make so small evident change as you think. You have made
mess. IMHO you should ask for it on openerp-expert-accounting group
first. Please ask community before you improve any convention in future.

Title:
  No "code" field in "res.currency" object

Status in Aeroo Reports for Open ERP:
  Confirmed
Status in OpenERP Modules (addons):
  Confirmed
Status in OpenOffice.org Reporting Engine for OpenObject:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There is no code field in the res.currency object, which used to hold
  ISO 4217 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217) code for the
  currency. ISO code is the only referable code for a currency, any
  other name is just user friendly representation and may vary from
  country to country, still they are not official names of the currency.

  Please do not disregard this defect as many modules depend on this
  code do find correct currency in a system.

  This defect is present in whole OpenERP's 6th version branch.
