	"Rouble" is also an acceptable spelling of the Russian currency.

	The Chinese Yuan is also called the Renminbi or Peoples Currency.

	Hmm. The image used on the front page of the site to link to this quiz is the reverse side of a British £2 coin. But the British pound isn't one of the currencies in the quiz. :-)

	Good quiz. One could always suggest additional currencies for inclusion, but I suppose they can be in later quizzes. By the way, if you are going to specify New Lira for Turkey, I believe that Israel should have New Sheqel.

	Craig is right. Renminbi should be an acceptable answer for China. Otherwise, this is a good quiz. Another cool one would be former currencies of countries now in the Eurozone.

	There is already a quiz on former currencies of the Eurozone And no, the Deutschmark isn't used any more

	argh, I think I tried every alternative spelling for "ruble" I could muster! Very frustrating but otherwise a fantastic game!

	davidr:	Oct 16th, 2008 at 08:40 GMT	5 points
	"Rouble" is now accepted. Not sure about your other alternatives, Laly. ;-)

	@davidr- Ah, so that's why it didn't accept "Lance Armstrong"

	@Tim Welch - I think there is a former Eurozone currency quiz, have a search, I'm sure I remember doing that one.

	Surely Venezuela should be the petrodollar?

	I sucked at this. Missed 'franc'.

	I would think the British pound and US dollar were omitted because they are way too easy. Although I gave up at 14, I liked this quiz because there were some tricky ones (and some that were just obscure). The similarities in names between widely separated countries was interesting (Brazil, Iran), as were the ones whose names reflect historical connections (Egypt, Kenya, Venezuela).

	try the euro replaced currencies as well if you like this one. got 30 on this quiz, although it was pretty tough.

	Too bad crown isn't accepted for koruna or krone.

	BigThing:	Feb 14th, 2009 at 23:40 GMT	0 points
	I sucked and got only nine, but at least I got zloty!

	melissa:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 17:58 GMT	1 point
	@Josh Turner - maybe British pound and U.S. dollar are omitted because "pound" and "dollar" are already answers. I like the fact that each currency is different - you don't get any freebies by entering "pound" and having it fill in several different places. Makes you work!

	Good Quiz. Some Mistakes Though. In Nigeria they use the Nigerian Euro.

	I think that Hyrule would have been a better hint than India.

	It helps if you once collected stamps. Good quiz. I got thrown by Brazil because at one point they were changing currencies very quickly: cruzeiro or cruzado; maybe peso or escudo? ...but no (não).

	I can't believe I tried "Galleon" and "Knut"...Stupid Harry Potter!

	19/30. Having work experience at a change de bureau paid off lol

	I swear I entered 'shillings'... probably typed too fast, no?

	jeraboa:	Dec 30th, 2009 at 16:35 GMT	3 points
	29/30, foiled by those Bangladeshis and their Taka. Am I the only one who got the Brazillian Real by misspelling the Iranian Rial.

	What! No dirham?

	nlw44:	Mar 19th, 2010 at 17:22 GMT	2 points
	Wouldn't it be great to have a quiz for ALL the world's currencies, rather than just a few of them? And not something that allowed you to enter "dollar" or "euro" and hit multiple countries.

	As I typed in Baht, I said to myself, that's all I've got. I'm a poet and I didn't even know it.

	wow. i only got three. that's sad.

	unabstainium:	Nov 21st, 2010 at 04:55 GMT	1 point
	How about adding some: Bulgarian lev, Swedish/Icelandic krona, Hungarian forint, Emir/Moroccan dirham, Saudi/Qatari riyal, Croatian kuna, Peruvian nuevo sol, Costa Rican colon, Estonian kroon, Zambian kwacha, for some fairly popular ones. Also, Why name only one of the countries that use the dollar, pound, lira, franc, etc.?

	what's the history behind turkey's currency then? I don't remember italy invading them, well aside from the roman empire that is.

	Please accept RMB - the abbreviation for China's currency. Aside from that, great quiz.

	So in Vietnam, a rich man has many dongs.
