\"3c86a30\"<\/a>There are over 160 countries that have their own currency. Only a few countries have a unique character or symbol for their currency. The common characters can mean different currencies for different countries. Banks, money exchange companies and currency traders use a different set of symbols to keep track of the currencies with which they’re working.
\n
\nThe Dollar Sign<\/strong>
\nThe dollar sign, $, is the symbol for the United States dollar. It is also the symbol for quite a few other countries. Here is a partial list of other countries and currencies that use the $ symbol: Canadian dollar; Australian dollar; Brazilian real; Chilean, Cuban, Mexican and Uruguayan pesos; Hong Kong dollar and New Zealand dollar. Most of the Caribbean nations and many African nations also use the $ symbol for their currency.<\/p>\n

European Currencies<\/strong>
\nMost European nations no longer have their own currencies. Gone are the German mark, French franc, Italian lira and others. The European Union has adopted a universal currency called the euro with the symbol: \u20ac. The \u20ac is the same currency with the same value in every country where it is used.<\/p>\n

Other Symbols<\/strong>
\nThe United Kingdom and some British holdings like the Falkland Islands and Gibralter use the British pound symbol: \u00a3. Egypt also uses the \u00a3. The Japanese yen and the Chinese renminbi use the \u00a5 as their currency symbol.<\/p>\n

Most of the world uses a combination of letters, upper and\/or lower case to symbolize their money. Nigeria, Thailand and the Philippines have unique symbols for their currency that cannot be readily printed with computer fonts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
