We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
Image
as they could.

We are looking for any unit of official national currency as of the end of February 2015. Where more than one country shares the same named currency, or if the currency is essentially the same one as from another country, we'll only accept it once. We are also looking only for the main unit, not any sub-units or super-units.
And, as always by country, we mean a sovereign state that is a member of the UN.

Do people use their
Dong
? Let's see if it's correct, and if so, how many people said it.

Sadly not a 0, but đồng scores you just
1

It was introduced in 1978, and currently 32560₫ = £1.

That's how you play this game! A

It was last revalued in 2007, and £1 will buy you GH₵5.32.

Not sure. I'm really hoping that this is a real ( and current) currency, because sometimes a board game isn't the best place to draw trivia from. But I'm going to try for Chinese Yuan.

They

British. It's better than if they surveyed people from the US though... everything would be a 0.

Ow, I think the fact that India shares that currency (name) is really gonna hurt you. On the other hand, I just scored 1 with the yuan, so it might not make a difference?

Spoiler: Results
Yeah, the fact that India uses the rupee as well means you got a
13
. Still surprisingly low.
The rupee is actually used by eight separate countries, including Mauritius.

Will the players please swap positions and we'll head back down the line.

SleepyKrew
, start off the second pass.
You're currently the high scorers, so no red line for you.
