List of circulating currencies

Samples of currency from various countries

This list of circulating currencies contains the 191 current official or de facto currencies of the 192 United Nations member states, one UN observer state, four partially recognized sovereign states, six unrecognized countries, and 32 dependencies. All dependencies on the table below will be italicized. Partially or wholly unrecognized countries are in bold. All dependencies listed here use a currency other than that of the sovereign state that administers them.

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.
