# New code for unrecognized currencies

As of API version 2021-07, the GraphQL Admin API returns `XXX` in response to an unrecognized currency code. `XXX` is the ISO code used to denote transactions that involve no currency.

In mutations, a `CurrencyCode` input value of `XXX` is invalid. `XXX` can only be returned as a result and not as an input value.

This change prevents order pages from breaking if payments include a currency code that's not in the list of [supported values for the `CurrencyCode` object](api/admin/reference/common-objects/currencycode).
