Maybe Quizmaster hasn't had a chance to check the comments under this quiz for awhile, but the 5 people who commented that El Salvador got rid of the colón and replaced it with the US dollar in 2001, a year after Ecuador did the same thing with the sucre, are right.

Out of all things related to geography, official currencies are certainly not the most difficult to study. Studying capitals, second largest cities, and official languages requires much more effort and most JetPunkers have those all mastered like the back of their hands!

I've always wondered -- why are the Marshall Islands listed as having a currency of "None", while the Federated States of Micronesia are listed as "Dollar"? The two countries are in exactly the same position of using the US Dollar as their currency. To be consistent with the rest of the quiz (e.g. El Salvador, East Timor etc.), I would think that Micronesia should also be listed as "None".

Maybe it's official in Marshall Islands and only de facto in Micronesia? I'm not sure about this, but I was also a bit confused by the "nones" on this quiz.

I saw an earlier comment that was never answered. Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau etc. all use the US dollar in exactly the same manner. But on this quiz, the Marshall Islands show "None" as the currency, the others have "Dollar". Shouldn't this be done consistently?

El Salvador does not have a currency of its own. U.S. dollars and Bitcoin are legal tender, however.

Level 72
Dec 16, 2021
Interesting. Bitcoin may not be the currency of El Salvador but the quiz title has "currencies used by the different countries of the world". Doesn't Bitcoin (and USD) count as "currencies used"?

Could end up being a bit of a nightmare to maintain as and when more countries accept crypto though!

It would be cool if the scoring was based on the number of countries that use a currency, rather than one point per currency. That way when you guess a popular currency you get more points. It makes the game more interesting.

Agreed with this. The coins and banknotes say ZiG and while, yes, this stands for Zimbabwe Gold, everyone just calls it "zig" as a single word. Take off every ZiG for great justice!
