List of circulating currencies

A banknote that depicts two men standing next to a cross that has two birds sitting on it all printed in red ink on a white background
Some currencies, such as the Nagorno-Karabakh dram, are not used in day-to-day commerce, but are legal tender.

This list contains the 180 currencies recognized as legal tender in United Nations (UN) member states, UN observer states, partially recognized or unrecognized states, and their dependencies. Dependencies and unrecognized states are listed here only if another currency is used in their territory that is different from the one of the state that administers them or has jurisdiction over them.

Criteria for inclusion

A currency is a kind of money and medium of exchange. Currency includes paper, cotton, or polymer banknotes and metal coins. States generally have a monopoly on the issuing of currency, although some states share currencies with other states. For the purposes of this list, only currencies that are legal tender, including those used in actual commerce or issued for commemorative purposes, are considered "circulating currencies". This includes fractional units that have no physical form but are recognized by the issuing state, such as the United States mill,[upper-alpha 1] the Egyptian millime,[upper-alpha 2] and the Japanese rin.[upper-alpha 3] Currencies used by non-state entities, like the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, scrips used by private entities, and other private, virtual, and alternative currencies are not under the purview of this list.
