List of currencies of the world
What money do you use
depends on where are you living or planning to travel. Totally, there are 164
official national currencies circulating around the world. Although the number
of the independent countries is 197 plus about five dozen of dependent territories.
The matter is, that some of them don't have their own money and officially use
the foreign currency.
Thus the European euro
is used in 35 independent states and overseas territories, the United States
dollar is used in 10 foreign countries and in the USA, the West African CFA
franc - in 8 and the Central African CFA franc - in 6 African states, the East
Caribbean dollar - in 6 Caribbean nations.
The world's
most-traded currency is the US dollar with about 47% share of global payments
and 87% of the forex market's daily turnover. On the second place is the Euro,
having about 33% of the daily forex transactions and 28% share of the
international bank payments.
