About World Currencies Quiz
About twenty countries of the European Union share the euro, while their neighbours keep currencies with names such as the forint, the koruna and the leu. The World Currencies Quiz asks which money is used where, from the dollars of Canada, Australia and the Caribbean to the shilling, the dinar and the rupee in all their national forms. Questions are checked against the official ISO list of currency codes, and countries whose currency is changing or shared in a confusing way are left out. Bulgaria’s move to the euro in January 2026 is already included.

Tips & strategy
- Many currency names come in families: dollar, franc, peso, dinar, rupee and shilling each belong to several countries, so look at the adjective too.
- The euro is used outside the European Union as well, for example in Montenegro and Kosovo.
- Old empires left their mark: former French colonies in West and Central Africa use CFA francs.
World Currencies Quiz: questions and answers
Are the currency names checked?
Yes, against the ISO 4217 list of world currency codes and a hand-written table that was reviewed line by line.
Why are some countries missing?
A few countries are left out because their currency is unsettled, or because they use more than one currency in a way that would make the question unfair.
