What currency is used in Japan is a warm-up. What currency is used in Mongolia is a real question, and the currency quiz has 140 more like it. Each round asks what money a given country uses, with four currencies to choose from, covering everything from the euro zone to the tugrik, the kip and the paʻanga.

Currencies are a sneaky-good geography subject because they encode history: the CFA franc tells you about West Africa, the many dollars and pounds map old empires, and standalone currencies like the forint or the baht pin their countries precisely. After a few rounds you start recognizing patterns, and after a dozen you can impress or annoy anyone at a dinner table.

This is one of the premium modes: the first three questions of a game are free as a preview, and a subscription opens full rounds along with all other premium modes. Answers come with instant feedback either way. Rounds run in the browser on any device with no download. If you are warming up, the capitals quiz and flags quiz are fully free, and the population quiz applies the same four-option format to another surprisingly tricky subject.

Frequently asked questions

How many currencies does the quiz cover?

About 140 distinct currencies across 195+ countries, from major ones like the euro and yen to the tugrik, kwacha and vatu.

Is the currency quiz free?

It is a premium mode with a free preview: everyone can play the first three questions of a round. A subscription opens full games and all 13 modes.

Does the quiz include countries that share currencies?

Yes. The euro, both CFA francs and the East Caribbean dollar all appear, and distractor options never duplicate the correct currency, so shared currencies stay fair.

What are the hardest currency questions?

Central Asian and Pacific currencies miss most often: few players can name the som, the kina or the tala on the first try. That is what the quiz is for.
