<Pricing> currency attribute must be a 3-letter ISO-4217 code
WarningRequired fieldsIAB VAST 3.0 §2.3VAST 3.0, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3
Short answer
The currency attribute on <Pricing> must be a valid ISO-4217 three-letter currency code. A value like dollars or US is not valid.
Why this matters in production
This rule is a strong risk signal. Tags with this issue often still parse, but they become brittle across SDKs, SSAI resolvers, and CTV environments. Required-field failures usually stop validation early because the platform cannot determine the basic shape of the ad, the creative metadata, or the mandatory tracking payload. Affected scope: VAST 3.0, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3.
How to fix
Set currency to a valid three-letter ISO-4217 code such as USD, EUR, or GBP.
