List of circulating currencies

World currencies


World currencies

There are 180 currencies recognized as legal tender in United Nations (UN) member states, UN General Assembly non-member observer states, partially recognized or unrecognized states, and their dependencies. However, excluding the pegged (fixed exchange rate) currencies, there are only 130 currencies that are independent or pegged to a currency basket.

| File:USDnotesNew.png | U.S. dollar, the official currency of the United States, the world's dominant reserve currency and the most traded currency globally. | Euro banknotes, Europa series.png | Euro, the currency used by the most countries and territories, the second-largest reserve currency and the second-most traded currency. | International Monetary Fund (IMF) (53844898894).jpg | The International Monetary Fund headquarters in Washington, D.C.. The IMF is primarily focused on the stability of the global monetary system and oversee the currencies of the world.

Criteria for inclusion

A currency is a kind of money and medium of exchange. Currency includes paper, cotton, or polymer banknotes and metal coins. States generally have a monopoly on the issuing of currency, although some states share currencies with other states. For the purposes of this list, only currencies that are legal tender, including those used in actual commerce or issued for commemorative purposes, are considered "circulating currencies". This includes fractional units that have no physical form but are recognized by the issuing state, such as the United States mill, the Egyptian millieme, and the Japanese rin. Currencies used by non-state entities, like the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, scrips used by private entities, and other private, virtual, and alternative currencies are not included on this list.

Dependencies and unrecognized states are listed here only if another currency is used on their territory that is different from the one of the state that administers them or has jurisdiction over them.

List of circulating currencies by state or territory

Colour key and notes
*Italics* indicates a state or territory with a low level of international recognition

Every currency name in this table except "euro" is preceded by a modifier: Australian dollar, United States dollar, Indian rupee, Sri Lankan rupee, and so on, out to "Bosnia and Herzegovina convertible mark" and "South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands pound". This means that a straightforward sort on CURRENCY would be hardly any different from the default sort on STATE OR TERRITORY. For this reason, every modified name in the CURRENCY column – every currency name but "euro" – is given inside a call of data-sort-value="xxx" (where xxx is the sort value intended). If the name is in the Latin alphabet and has any accented letters, they are specified to be sorted without the accent; so, e.g., data-sort-value="Dong, Vietnamese" | Vietnamese đồng

The same is done in the FRACTIONAL UNIT column. Fortunately, most of those are unmodified: cent, centavo, kopeck, etc.

Values of "(none)" [in italics] in all columns are sorted as null string (blank), to sort at the top of the list: data-sort-value="0" | none

This is discussed on the talk page under Sorting the table by "Currency"
