Background to the schools Wikipedia

This content from Wikipedia has been selected by SOS Children for suitability in schools around the world. Sponsoring children helps children in the developing world to learn too.

This list contains the 182 current official or de facto currencies of the 193 United Nations member states, two UN observer state, nine partially recognized or unrecognized states (in bold), and 33 dependencies (in italics). Only dependencies and unrecognized countries that use a currency other than that of the sovereign state that administers them or has de jure jurisdiction over them are listed here. Currencies used in places of extraterritoriality like the United Nations or the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and scrips used by private entities 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, cotton, or polymer 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.
