I think that really depends upon what you consider currency. As you know, most countries either have their own or share with another Nation that they have ties with. Some don't have full ranges of currency, like The Cook Islands which has it's own coinage but uses the New Zealand dollar for anything over $1 (or at least they did when I was there a few years ago).

There are also companies that have their own "currency" such as Canadian Tire which I'm sure you are familiar with. Sure, theirs is essentially a coupon system but there are a number of places besides Canadian Tire that will accept it.

I have yet to find a currency converter online that lists all the worlds known currencies so you can't go by that alone. About the best list I've found thus far is from the wikipedia link below. It will give you an idea anyway.

According to their list there are approx 191 recognized currencies in the world.

Just wanted to point out a couple of "exceptions" to the rule that every naiton has its own currency

1.) Due to a variety of factors, some countries / regions do not use their "own" currency but rely on other currencies. Example: Palestine (where I come from) uses a combination of Israeli Shekels, Jordanian Dinars, and US Dollars (the Israeli shekel being most prevelant of course)

2.) Some countries have "unofficial" currencies that equal or evenn surpass the "official" currency. For example: lebanon has the Lebanese Lira, but almost everyone also deals in US Dollars. Its not at ALL uncommon for you to walk into a restaurant and ask for prices in US Dollar and pay either in dollars or liras.

Hope that helps

Go to this site and download xofia euro: http://3d2f.com/programs/11-622-xofia-euro-downloa...

Description:

Xofia Euro is a currency converter and calculator that performs operations with many different currency units. You can change the number of displays you want to work with by simply resizing the program window. For each display you can specify a different currency unit. You can configure any number of currencies in the application's currency table. The exchange rates for the configured currencies are updated from the Internet.

It would probably be easier to list the countries that didn't have their own currency. I can't think of any except those in the European Union where they all use the Euro (except for the uk, where they also use the pound.) Maybe some of the smaller countries get along by using a neighbor's currency? Each currency is offset in terms of what it can buy.

There are hundreds of currencies.

Look at:

www.xe.com

On the main page, it gives you the current exchange rate vs. the Canadian Dollar (or whatever other currency you want to use) for the most common currencies. They are listed by where they are used.

If you click the link for "More currencies" it'll give you a choice of 320 or so different currencies.

The website "Wise" gave you is good, but every country in the world and some individual groups have their own currency. For example in some African countries, a type of vegetable something like our sweet potato is used. In parts of South America the Amazon tribes use barter. If you go there take axes and pots. The exchange rate is numerous and changes daily so if your going to travel use the banks exchange. If its for a report the website given should help. Good luck!

RE:

How many different types of curency are there?

How many different types of currency are there, what are they, where are they used, and what are they worth compared to the Canadian dollar?

Do you mean including the currency I print? My dollars are worth two Canadian dollars because I said so.
