Not listed: Burkina Faso, Benin, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Chad, Togo — Countries that run their own currency and publish an official daily reference fixing.

That is an absence in the law, not a gap in the data.
