The table below lists the currencies and subcurrencies in use in more than 200 countries and territories around the world Country Name We have used the popular rather than the formal names of countries and territories For example we list Korea South rather than Republic of Korea Currency Name In many cases a number of countries share the same currency name but not the same currency To lessen confusion we have included the country name in the currency column e g Australian Dollar U S Dollar Hong Kong Dollar ISO Codes The International Organization for Standardization ISO not IOS has established alpha and numeric codes for all currencies These are the formal codes that banks and currency dealers use Symbols Most every currency in the world has a symbol or abbreviation that is more commonly used than the formal ISO codes For example and The Euro On January 1 2002 the Euro replaced the national currencies of 12 European Union EU countries including Austria Belgium Finland France Germany Greece Ireland Italy Luxembourg the Netherlands Portugal and Spain At the same time many other countries and territories that used the former currencies of these countries converted as well For example French Guiana used the French franc but now also uses the Euro Hard vs Soft Currencies Some currencies are soft meaning they are either legally inconvertible or simply undesirable because they are not stable Hard currencies on the other hand are convertible and stable and therefore most often used in international transactions Hard currencies include the EU Euro U S dollar British Pound Sterling Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc Exchange Rate and Currency Information Exchange rates can and do fluctuate sometime wildly The traditional method for learning about rates used to include the Monday edition of the Wall Street Journal other major newspapers and banks and foreign exchange firms like Thomas Cook Now of course instant information is available on the Internet at services such as Oanda www oanda com Bloomberg www bloomberg com and Universal Currency Converter www xe com Two other great sources of currency information include the Pacific Exchange Rate Service at http fx
