10 Funny Currency Names In The World
Most of the time, the only currency names we discuss are rupees, dollars, pounds and francs. Little notice is taken of the thousands of other countries and their currencies. The only time you look for currency names of other countries is when you are travelling. And if you are an avid traveller, then you must have come across some really funny currency names by now. Sometimes these funny currency names sound like really bizarre words in English or our native tongues.
You can get a good laugh at these names when you are researching the currencies of an exotic destination. This means no offence to the country or currency. After all, the term dollar might mean something very funny in Chinese. So, here are 10 of the most funny sounding currency names in the world.
Baht, Thailand
When 'Baht' is pronounced in a fast flow of words, it comes out sounding like butt. So imagine hearing something like, this hat is for '10 butts'!
Balboas, Panama
Panama is a green country that makes an excellent tourist spot. However, name of the currency might give some tourists jitters of laughter. Balboa is really a strange name for a currency.
Zloty, Poland
The currency of Poland is naturally named in the Slavic tongue that is punctuated with 'z' in the middle of words. This one is a real tongue twister.
Ringglets, Malaysia
When you hear the word 'ringglets' it invariably reminds you of a blonde baby girl with curly hair. The 'ringlets' of her hair falling over her eyes.
Colones, Costa Rica
This funny currency names has two similar sounding words. One is 'colon', as in the body organ and the other other is 'cologne', meaning perfumes.
Meticals, Mozambique
Meticals often comes out sounding like 'medicals' which is obviously a little strange.
Quetzal, Guatemala
Actually, this name is not funny but rather grand. But then it sounds like a corporate company instead of a currency name.
Drachma, Greece
The currency of ancient Greece was called Drachma. It basically means 'handful'. This currency has now been replaced by Euro.
Dinar, Kuwait
This currency is used not only in Kuwait but other countries like Algeria, Bahrain etc. It distinctly sounds like someone is inviting you to dinner.
Dong, Vietnam
'Ding dong bell, pussy in the well'. That is exactly how this currency name sounds. When somebody says 'dong' you are instantly reminded of this nursery rhyme!
