# Basic Types
## Ripple Address
## Address
```json
"r9cZA1mLK5R5Am25ArfXFmqgNwjZgnfk59"
```
Every Ripple account has an *address*, which is a base58-encoding of a hash of the account's public key. Ripple addresses always start with the lowercase letter `r`.
Every XRP Ledger account has an *address*, which is a base58-encoding of a hash of the account's public key. XRP Ledger addresses always start with the lowercase letter `r`.
## Account Sequence Number
Every Ripple account has a *sequence number* that is used to keep transactions in order. Every transaction must have a sequence number. A transaction can only be executed if it has the next sequence number in order, of the account sending it. This prevents one transaction from executing twice and transactions executing out of order. The sequence number starts at `1` and increments for each transaction that the account makes.

The sequence number starts at `1` and increments for each transaction that the account makes.
## Currency
Currencies are represented as either 3-character currency codes or 40-character uppercase hexadecimal strings. We recommend using uppercase [ISO 4217 Currency Codes](http://www.xe.com/iso4217.php) only. The string "XRP" is disallowed on trustlines because it is reserved for the Ripple native currency. The following characters are permitted: all uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, as well as the symbols `?`, `!`, `@`, `#`, `$`, `%`, `^`, `&`, `*`, `<`, `>`, `(`, `)`, `{`, `}`, `[`, `]`, and `|`.

## Value
A *value* is a quantity of a currency represented as a decimal string. Be careful: JavaScript's native number format does not have sufficient precision to represent all values. XRP has different precision from other currencies.
