What is the currency of your money?

In Canada we use Canadian dollars. Right now 97 American cents equal 1 Canadian dollar. I like it when the American dollar is just a little bit higher, because I can get more Canadian dollars out of the American dollars that I have. As long as hey stay really close togeher, I'm ine. I do a lot of travelling between Toronto and Phoenix, so the dollar is something I watch very closely,

Here in Philippines, our currency is Peso.
compared to American dollar, 1 US dollar is 44 pesos. 1 pound is equals to 36 pesos and 1euro is equals to 69 pesos.
our family is receiving dollars. it is a good thing that dollar is higher in peso. my father's salary is converted to dollar.

When i was young,we have cent.
As time going,the money's face value became bigger and bigger.
Maybe it caused by appreciation of the RMB.

In the US we have pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and bills.
There have been a couple attempts at coin dollars but it has never worked. We had the Susan B. Anthony dollar which was the exact same size as the quarter.
We had buffalo nickels. The head was a buffalo. We had a wheat penny. Sheafs of wheat were on the back.
We had half dollars with JFK's head on it.
We used to have two dollar bills but as far as I know they are not made anymore, but you can still use them just like any of the currency no longer in circulation.
The quarters now are state quarters. Fifty different kinds.
There have been lots of changes and I know there is more but I can not think of anymore right now.

We have the same as you here in the US but unfortunately, we still have that darned penny! I don't mind the nickel but pennies are rather ridiculous.

Our paper money has changed over the past few years in an effort to foil counterfeiters and is now a little more colorful than before. And they are saying now that our bills discriminate against sightless people--which is true, I don't know how they manage and they could be cheated by unscrupulous people. They will probably change our paper money in some way so that blind or visually impaired people will be able to distinguish the denominations.

Hi Kitten, as we are almost neighbours our currency is the same as yours.
I think we still have the 5 cent piece though.
Probably will not be long before it is gone though.

I think it was much easier for the younger generation to change over when decimal currency came in.
We had only been used to the old pounds shillings and pence for a short.
Where as our parents and grandparents had been using the old currency for a long time.

Well, since I live in the states there's been no money change, just changing the looks of the bills in the last few years.

I will say that England was still on the old system when I went in the late 60's and on the deciminal system when I went back in 95.

The currency in my country, the Philippines, is called Peso... same name with that of Mexico... the name was given by the Spanish government when both countries were still under Spanish rule... and during the Galleon trade... the Philippines and Mexico were business partners... but i don't think neither of the two benefitted a lot from this...

Good Lord I have a headache now! LOL
So I'm off to count my pennies, (1cent), nickels(5cents)dimes(10cents), quarters(25cents),loonies($! coin),toonies($2coin) and whatever five dollar, ten dollar, twenty dollar, fifty dollar or hundred dollar paper bills I might have lying around! LOL
