All Rights Reserved. www.WorldTradePress.comCurrencies of the WorldThe table below lists the currencies and subcurrencies in use inmore than 200 countries and territories around the world. Country NameWe have used the popular rather than the formal names of coun-tries and territories. For example, we list Korea, South, ratherthan Republic of Korea.Currency NameIn many cases a number of countries share the same currencyname, but not the same currency. To lessen confusion, we haveincluded the country name in the currency column (e.g., Austra-lian Dollar, U.S. Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar).ISO CodesThe International Organization for Standardization (ISO, notIOS) has established alpha and numeric codes for all currencies.These are the formal codes that banks and currency dealers use.SymbolsMost every currency in the world has a symbol or abbreviationthat is more commonly used than the formal ISO codes. For ex-ample, $, £ and ¥.The EuroOn January 1, 2002, the Euro replaced the national currencies of12 European Union (EU) countries including Austria, Belgium,Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. At the same time, manyother countries and territories that used the former currencies ofthese countries converted as well. For example, French Guianaused the French franc but now also uses the Euro.Hard vs. Soft CurrenciesSome currencies are “soft,” meaning they are either legally incon-vertible, or simply undesirable because they are not stable.“Hard” currencies, on the other hand, are convertible and stableand, therefore, most often used in international transactions. Hardcurrencies include the EU Euro, U.S. dollar, British Pound Ster-ling, Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc.Exchange Rate and Currency InformationExchange rates can and do fluctuate, sometime wildly. The tra-ditional method for learning about rates used to include theMonday edition of the Wall Street Journal, other major newspa-pers, and banks and foreign exchange firms like Thomas Cook.Now, of course, instant information is available on the Internetat services such as:Oanda (www.oanda.com), Bloomberg (www.bloomberg.com), andUniversal Currency Converter (www.xe.com).Two other great sources of currency information include the Pa-cific Exchange Rate Service at: http://fx.sauder.ubc.ca/currency_table.html and the UN Opera-tional Rates of Exchange at www.un.org/Depts/treasury.The information below is current as of September 2006.4 Currencies of the World© Copyright 2004-2008 by World Trade Press.
