Fancy learning a bit more about European currencies? Here are 5 fast fun facts:

  • 9 EU Countries Don’t Use the Euro; Denmark, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
  • An image of the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom has appeared on coins for at least 1000 years (and was quite often the only way a person living in the country would know what their monarch looked liked!)
  • The Hungarian currency name “forint” actually comes from the city of Florence, where gold coins minted in 1252 and beyond were called “fiorino”. The Hungarians took inspiration; thus leading to their currency being named the forint.
  • As well as Lichtenstein, the Swiss Franc is official currency of an Italian town called Campione d’ltalia and a German town called Bussingen!
  • UK sterling pound has a few nicknames
    • Quid = pound (e.g. £20 = 20 quid)
    • Grand = £1000
    • Tenner = A £10 note
