List, Names, Codes & Symbols Of Currencies Used In Different Countries Of The World

Money is a commodity accepted by general consent as a medium of economic exchange. It is the medium in which prices and values are expressed. It circulates from person to person and country to country, facilitating trade, and it is the principal measure of wealth.

Different countries have various means of measuring wealth. One of such means is the use of currency. While a currently may have a lot of value in the region where it is accepted, such a currency may possess no value to those who don't accept it.
