Currency by Country

A currency is a unit of exchange, facilitating the transfer of goods and/or serices. It is coins and paper bills used as money. Currencies are the dominant medium of exchange. Coins and paper money are both forms of currency.

Before cash was used as currency, other items considered valuable were used in trade exchanges. For instance, Aztecs in the fourteenth century used cocoa beans as currency to trade for tools and clothing. Gold dust was traded for European goods in some African countries in the seventeenth century. Salt was used in many ancient civilizations, and is actually the basis for the English word salary.
