There are ISO standards for these items. Look at www.iso.org where there are several Maintenance Agencies or Widely Used Standards UK BSI has something on currencies, for example see http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/popstds/currencycodes.html Quantities and units are another standard at http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/popstds/quantitiesandunits.html None of these are ontologies but it would be simply to create URIs based on the ISO standard numbers and their technical content.
