If no value can be determined from the browser, and no override has been set, the default Time Zone used is `America/New_York`.
## Currency code (required not an override)
Browsers do not have a default currency code (at time of writing) so this is one setting that *must* be set by the user and included here for reference.
The Currency Code controls how currency values are displayed and accepted for input in AyaNova. The code must be one of the 3 character alphabetic [ISO 4217 active currency codes](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217#Active_codes) This value is *required* and cannot be determined from the Browser itself. If no setting is made the *default* value is "USD" for dollar symbol $.
Some other common currency codes are: "EUR" - Euro, "GBP" - Great British Pound, "CAD" - Canadian dollar, "AUD" - Australian dollar.
