List of circulating currencies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A currency is a unit of exchange and hence a kind of money and medium of exchange. Currency
includes paper, cotton, or polymer banknotes and metal coins. Countries generally have a monopoly
on the issuing of currency, although some countries share currencies with other countries. Today,
currencies are the dominant means of exchange. Different countries may use the same term to refer
to their respective currencies, even though the currencies may have little else to do with each other.
Ach place that is technically part of another country sometimes uses a different currency from that of
the parent country.
This list contains the 182 current official or de facto currencies of the 193 United Nations member
states, one UN observer state, nine partially recognized states, one unrecognized state, and 33
dependencies. Only dependencies and unrecognized countries that use a currency other than that of
the sovereign state that administers them or has de jure jurisdiction over them are listed here.
Currencies used in places of extraterritoriality like the United Nations or the Sovereign Military Order
of Malta and scrips used by private entities are not under the purview of this list.
