# name series: currency units # prepared by Andrew Main (Zefram) 2005-08-10 # # This list is intended to support a naming scheme in which # computers or other objects are named after currency units. # See for more information. # # Below is a list of currency unit names. These are not names of # currencies per se. Where multiple currencies use the same unit # name, the unit name appears once; similarly, some obsolete units are # included. The predominant spelling of the name is used in each case, # and very similar unit names are merged into one entry, so for example # "cent" appears in the list to the exclusion of "centime", "centavo", # and others. The singular form of each name is used, and accents on # the letters are ignored. # # Obscure currency units are not included in the list. This has been # judged by whether Wikipedia has an entry for the unit name. # # There are 83 lines, sorted alphabetically. # ariary baht balboa birr cedi cent colon crown dalasi dinar dirham dollar dong drachma dram escudo euro farthing fen fils florin forint franc gourde guilder guinea hryvnia inti iraimbilanja jiao khoums kina kip kobo kopek kuna kwacha kwanza kyat lari lek lempira leu lev lilangeni lira loti luma manat mark mill naira ngultrum ngwee ouguiya paisa pataca pengo penny peso piastre pound pula qintar quetzal rand rial ringgit ruble rupee satang shekel shilling sol taka tambala tenge tetri tugrug won yen yuan zloty
