One of the problems encountered when dealing with currencies from other countries is understanding the differences between these currencies. Those intent on perpetrating fraud who know this may take advantage by altering bills so that the amount payable reads in US dollars rather than in the local currency. Sometimes the difference in the amounts can be staggering. The list we have provided is arranged alphabetically. It includes the major currency, the symbol used to designate the currency and the major subdivision. Exchange rates are subject to change on a daily basis, so these have not been included. Should you need to find an exchange rate, these are readily available from banks, daily newspapers or on the Internet.
