Description Sergey 2020-10-12 07:34:18 UTC 
The current code of the Belarussian currency is BYN according to ISO 4217  (https://www.currency-iso.org/en/home/tables/table-a1.html ) 

The current code in glibc  has other value:

Comment 1 Florian Weimer 2020-10-12 09:46:15 UTC 
It looks like Belarus underwent various currency reforms going from BYR to BYB to BYN.

Do we have to adjust currency_symbol as well?  Should it be "Br "?
Comment 2 Sergey 2020-10-12 15:43:19 UTC 
In July 2016, a new ruble was introduced (ISO 4217 code BYN), at a rate of 1 BYN 
= 10,000 BYR. 

A Currency symbol is Br according Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarusian_ruble)
