About Currency Quiz
Currencies are the most useful clue in the whole of geography and the least studied. The West African CFA franc narrows a question to eight countries in one stroke; the Central African CFA franc to six others; the euro to twenty.
Shared currencies also tell you real history. The two CFA francs trace French colonial administration, the East Caribbean dollar ties together seven small island states, and Ecuador, El Salvador, Timor-Leste and several Pacific nations use the US dollar outright rather than issuing their own.
This is the game that most improves your score elsewhere. The country quiz gives you a currency as one of its three clues, and knowing the currency groups turns that from decoration into an answer.
Difficulty and scoring
Easy, Medium and Hard run thirty questions. Easy covers the countries most people can already name; Hard reaches the ones that need real study. A correct answer is worth 100 points, with a bonus for answering inside five seconds and further bonuses at three, five and ten in a row. A wrong answer scores nothing and resets the streak, but never ends the round.
Expert is different. It has no fixed length and no second chances: questions keep coming from the hardest pool until you get one wrong, and that ends the run immediately. Your result is how many you survived. The full scoring breakdown is on the about page.
