Notes [edit]

A This currency is not used in day to day commerce, but is legal tender. It is minted and/or

printed as commemorative banknotes and/or coinage.

B This currency is being phased out with a revalued version or another currency, but is still legal

tender.
C British banknotes are issued by the Bank of England and by some banks in Scotland and

Northern Ireland. Laws on legal tender vary between various jurisdictions. [4]
D One cent equals ten mills (also spelled “mil” and “mille”), and (for the United States dollar) ten

cents equal one dime.[5]

E One jiao equals ten fen.

F One piastre equals ten millimes.

G One sen equals ten rin.

H One piastre equals ten fils and one dirham equals 10 piastres.

I Although part of the Netherlands, the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba do not use

the euro, they use the United States dollar. They are listed separately.
J Four currencies circulate in the partially recognized state of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic

Republic, which claims the territory of Western Sahara. The Moroccan dirham is used in the
Moroccan-administered part of the territory and the Sahrawi peseta is the commemorative
currency of the Sahrawi Republic. Additionally, some de facto currencies circulate in the territory:
the Algerian dinar is used in Sahrawi refugee camps in Tindouf and the Mauritanian ouguiya is
used in Lagouira, which is under Mauritanian administration.
K Rappen is German; in French it is centime; in Italian it is centesimo.

L One hundred Tongan paʻanga equal one hau.

M One hào equals ten xu.

N No longer in active use after it was officially suspended by the government due to

hyperinflation. The United States dollar, South African rand, Botswanan pula, British pound, and

euro are now used instead. The United States dollar has been adopted as the official currency for
all government transactions with the new power-sharing regime.
