From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list of circulating currencies contains the 182 current official or de facto currencies of the 192 United Nations member states, 1 UN observer state, 4 partially recognized sovereign states, 6 unrecognized countries, and 32 dependencies. The only dependencies and unrecognized countries listed here use a currency other than that of the sovereign state that administers them or has de jure jurisdiction over them. Currencies used in places of extraterritoriality like the United Nations or the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and scrips used by private entities like the Disney dollar and the ora are not under the purview of this list.
A currency is a unit of exchange and hence a kind of money and medium of exchange. Currency includes paper 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. A place that is technically part of another country sometimes uses a different currency from that of the parent country.
