Currencies of the World

Episode 2231 Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

Every day, billions of people exchange pieces of paper, metal coins, and increasingly, numbers on a screen. 

The names attached to that money often have histories stretching back centuries, with origins in weights of silver, royal crowns, ancient coins, distant cities, and even animals.

Some of the most familiar names in your wallet have surprisingly obscure beginnings.

Learn more about the currencies of the world and how they got their names on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
