	For Belgium: its franC in french, and franK in dutch and german. Since these 3 languagues are all official in Belgium, you should add frank :D

	Isn't it just deutschmark?

	nikodemus:	Jun 13th, 2009 at 11:22 GMT		0 points
	@Philip: deutschmark is not the official name of the currency. And I think the work Mark is feminine so it requires -e

	A common curency makes going on holiday a whole lot less hassle.

	@Robbie_keane. You are very ignorant you know that? Your "Precious" America, is all that, because in the 1700's, EUROPE, established the 13 Colonies. Plus, America is very cruel to Europeans. So you better shut up or some english people are gonna be really really angry with you, believe me.

	Typing in the name of the French former currency gives me an instant 4/19. Typing in the Italian one pushes me up to 8. Why not just have 1 answer box for countries with common currencies?

	How is one Franc at 91.5 and the other three at 91.4?

	@robbie_keane the football player robbie keane is from ireland, in europe, so why would u name urself after someone who's from the very continent u consider "stupid" ..? also good quiz! i wish the uk had the euro

	Common currency in Europe does make it easier going on holiday, but at the same time i'd miss the british pound, sad as that is

	luxembourg is spelled wrong; there's no h at the end.

	rca:	Jan 24th, 2010 at 15:58 GMT		2 points
	Nice quiz!

	Luxembourg is spelled wrong, but Sporcle, you should really add the names of the currencies, like Lira Maltija, Lira Italiana, Deutsche Mark etc. but otherwise great quiz

	Jam1:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 18:26 GMT		5 points
	We should have to answer these in order, so you dont get 4 answers by typing franc or lira.

	I'd bet almost everyone who knew about tolar is from former Yugoslavia. Self included.

	accept Frank as an alternate answer for Franc. That's how people in Belgium write is you know (and they used that currency).

	Artie:	Sep 12th, 2010 at 12:01 GMT		1 point
	@Doctor_Tom: One franc can be ahead, because it's also a franken. That's the same reason the Irish pound leads the Cypriot one. A lot more people knew punt than I expected.

	Tolar and Dollar come from the same word root Thaler. Just thought I would share that.

	ZardDog, that's interesting. I was wondering about the similarity.

	Estonia has switched to the euro, so Kroon needs to be an answer

	pounds eh? didn't know that.

	Azrael:	Jan 21st, 2011 at 02:53 GMT		19 points
	If "crown" is acceptable for korona, it should be for kroon, too. Crown, korona, kroon (and kroner) all come from the Latin "corona."

	i still have francs. can't spend them now.

	aahstone:	Nov 14th, 2011 at 19:08 GMT		2 points
	@samcash13593 depends on which Franc surely? Swiss Francs are still good to spend. However you are probably in the same boat as me, a whole load of French Francs and nowhere to get rid of them.

	@samcash13593, @aahstone: if you have banknotes rather than coins, you can still exchange them at Banque de France.

	If 'Pound' is accepted for 'Punt Eireannach' then 'Shilling' should be accepted for 'Schilling'.

	Nicolai:	Apr 21st, 2012 at 22:02 GMT		3 points
	If Crown is accepted for Slovakian Koruna it should be accepted for Estonian Kroon as well, as it means the same.

	tehblooguy:	Jun 6th, 2012 at 10:45 GMT		2 points
	I tried Korona, Corona, Krona, Crona and Kronor. : (
