Description
There is old currency code and transition date for some countries in jdk/src/share/classes/java/util/CurrencyData.properties. 

For example:
# VENEZUELA
VE=VEB;2008-01-01-04-00-00;VEF

The old currency and transition date are not necessary and also cause extra work. They will be removed from CurrencyData.properties.

Comments
EVALUATION Will fix it in Java 8.
