Currency refers to the legal form of money used within a country or region to conduct economic transactions. It can be in the form of paper or metal, with a value set by the monetary authority, and serves as a medium of exchange for purchasing goods and services.

Currency also includes digital or virtual money used in modern financial systems. It holds recognized value and can be traded to make payments or conduct transactions. This list includes only officially recognized currencies, used as legal tender, including those used in real-world trade or issued for commemorative purposes.

Each currency worldwide has an exchange rate, which indicates the value of one country's currency relative to another's. Generally, global currencies are categorized into two types based on their exchange rate: strong currencies and weak currencies.

Here is a list of 180 world currencies along with their symbols, which are recognized as legal tender in countries that are members or observers of the United Nations (UN).
