+# Add a currency and symbol
+
+Add this code to your child theme’s `functions.php` file or via a plugin that allows custom functions to be added, such as the [Code Snippets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/) plugin. Avoid adding custom code directly to your parent theme’s functions.php file, as this will be wiped entirely when you update the theme.
+
+```php
+if ( ! function_exists( 'YOUR_PREFIX_add_currency_name' ) ) {
+  /**
+   * Add custom currency
+   * 
+   * @param array $currencies Existing currencies.
+   * @return array $currencies Updated currencies.
+   */
+  function YOUR_PREFIX_add_currency_name( $currencies ) {
+    $currencies['ABC'] = __( 'Currency name', 'YOUR-TEXTDOMAIN' );
+
+    return $currencies;
+  }
+  add_filter( 'woocommerce_currencies', 'YOUR_PREFIX_add_currency_name' );
+}
+

+   * @param string $currency Currency code.
+   * @return string $currency_symbol Updated currency symbol(s).
