The Chinese renminbi actual name is Yuan. The Korean Won, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan seems to stem from the same word. In China, the earliest money was actually sea shells. Later, perhaps due to standardisation, the Shang Dynasty made coinns that looks like sea shell.

I'm not an expert or anything, but it might be related to how Greece was bankrupt after the 2008 financial crisis, and I believe had to be bailed out 2 times by the EU, before they said enough. Greece was one of the countries hit hardest in Europe, the other being Iceland (which at one point was joked about, that you could buy the whole country for 50 kroner or was it $50, I can't remember). After the crisis in Greece, I remember reading that some started in a few places to use Bitcoin, because that had remained unaffected by the crisis and was not bound to the same FIAT currencies that everything else is. What I'm getting at is, that Greece might have slowed down their own printing of money and tried relying on their turisme business to help boost their economy and by using the other EU countries who use Euros to make up for their own.

@@kacperwoch4368 if I remember correctly, the inhabitants of the islands had no symbol to represent the sound "s", and it was easier to make a digraph to represent it than it would be to teach everyone a new symbol, and it's their "warped" way to say "Gilbert Islands". So the country is pronounced Kiribas, and the biggest island is Kiritimati: Kirismas (christmas), and there are some very interesting town names there (Poland, Paris, London, Banana).

The first map is interesting. But as some other already mentioned, it could be more accurate, concerning the Coruna/Crown/Krone or the same origin of Lira and Pound. And maybe there also should be a category for Dirham... you can find several Dirham-currencies, even the Armenian Dram is related. These derive from the greek Drachme. The relation between currency names is really interesting. And did you know, the Dollar comes from the european Thaler? It first war coined in a small village near my hometown. Joachimstal in Bohemia

Do you guys know why some currencies are called "rial" and others "riyal"? Funny fact, it seems as if Portuguese-Spanish "dinero" (and Italian "denaro" [they all mean "money"]) is from Arab "dinar", while "rial/riyal" is from Portuguese-Spanish "real" :O

Another example similar to the ancient Chinese knife money is the use of axe heads in bronze age Britain. Their design was slightly different from tool axe heads that show evidence of use, indicating they were cast with the intention of being a currency. Though they retained a socket and enough mass on the striking edge to be used as axes if sharpened, meaning they could be functional axe heads, many of them were never used. They also had value as a unit of bronze, because when iron/steel was introduced as a material, and the value of bronze collapsed, these axe heads lost enough of both utilitarian and intrinsic value for hordes of them to be abandoned.

A funny thing about roman coins is that we can physically observe the inflation. Size of denarii decreased through times. Also, sometimes roman imperial administration cheated on the value of coins. For instance, you can find some silver denarii stuffed with bronze, which can only be observed with the erosion of the metal.
