Validate International Securities Identification Number
Template:Ask Calculate an International Securities Identification Number (ISIN)
An International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) is a unique international identifier for a financial security such as a stock or bond.
It consists of an exchange identifier, usually a two character ISO country code, followed by nine characters to identify the security. If the security code is less then nine characters, it is left-padded with zeroes (ASCII character 48). The final character is a checksum between '0' and '9' (ASCII 48 to 57).
