SUNDAY COFFEE WITH JEB



Seniors, Do You Recognize World Currencies?

A fellow from the UK just sent me his currency exchange site wanting me to add it to my Best Travel Website page.  I liked it and noted that there was a listing of the various currencies throughout the world.  I discovered that I did not recognize many of them.  Seniors, do you know where the Kuna is used or the Forint? I got the last one right since I was in Budapest last fall. The Kuna is used in Croatia.

Seniors, if you keep up with national news at all you know that China uses the Yuan and the Brits did not join in with the EUC and the Euro and kept their almighty Pound. The Peso is also easy and maybe you have been to Norway and know the Krone. And the Yen and the Shekel. Yes, Japan and Israel, but let me go on and challenge you just a bit more.The Peso is also easy and maybe you have been to Norway and know the Krone.


It’s Currency Quiz Time Seniors

The folks in Brazil, what do they use? It’s the Real. Now this one will be easier, seniors, Hong Kong, Jamaica, The Cayman Islands, Ecuador, The Bahamas, New Zealand, Trinidad and Tobago, Singapore and Fiji. How did you do on that one?  It’s a dead giveaway when I add in Canada.

How about the Rupee? Did you guess India? A+ for you. The Koruna? I got that one too because I was in Prague last fall with my daughter. Being half Czech I wanted to know where my relatives came from. What a neat city.  Put it on your “travel bucket list”. It rates 100/100 and for me that is near where Paris rates.

The Franc. No, it’s not France. They gave in to the Euro as well. It’s Switzerland. Maybe you know the Rial? It’s the currency of Qatar, but it you haven’t been there yet, possibly you did not know that, but then again maybe you did.  Good for you if you got that one.

Here are The Finals.  A Forint, A Won, A Shilling, A Ringgit (good luck with that one), A Colón, A Dinar, A Dirham, A Nuevo Sol, A Zloty (another toughie), Litas, A Rand.  You thought that I was going to give you the answers here didn’t you?  No way.

Please go to: My Travel Money and simply hold down the Select Currency that reads EURO and they they are. If you are of a “curious nature” you just might do that.

Anyway…Bonne Chance Mon Vieux. Hope you enjoyed your coffee as much as I did.  jeb
