package javax.money;


Represents a supplier of CurrencyUnit-valued results. This is the CurrencyUnit-producing specialization of Supplier (as in Java 8). 

There is no requirement that a distinct result be returned each time the
supplier is invoked.

This is a functional interface whose functional method is getCurrency(). This class does not extend Supplier since MonetaryAmount implements both supplier interfaces, NumberSupplier and CurrencySupplier, which will lead to method name conflicts.
