World Currencies Quiz

This is a worksheet about world currencies. Students are given a list of different foreign currencies and must write which country (or countries) uses them. The second page gives students a list of countries, for which students must write the currencies they they use.

Ideal for Key Stage 3, GCSE or even A leve students. This could be used as a starter or plenary activity for an economics lesson or as a general quiz for form period or another lesson in school.

For more advanced students, an extension activity could be to research the exchange rates of these currencies compared to the pound, and to think of what might influence different exchange rates, in terms of social, political, economic and environmental factors.

Students should increase their knowledge of where different currencies are used around the world and gain an appreciation of the diversity of worldwide currencies, as well as how these are linked together.
