Czech Koruna should be part of the "Crown" group in the map.

The Chinese renminbi actual name is Yuan. The Korean Won, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan seems to stem from the same word.
In China, the earliest money was actually sea shells. Later, perhaps due to standardisation, the Shang Dynasty made coinns that looks like sea shell. Up till modern days, sea shell 贝，still forms many Chinese words for money, such as 财 property, or 宝precious (in the traditional form寶).

1:30 I believe that there's (at least 1) mistake. Czech rep. is marked purple for "other" but we actually use Czech Crowns (Koruna)... Now I know that it's not exactly written "krone" like they use up north but it's basically the same...

You know it’s a good video when Prussia’s glory is playing in the background

Don’t “make it rain” with knife money. Strippers hate it.

Turkish Lira should be listed under the "pound" category on the map, they both derive from the Latin "libra" (which is why the pound the weight is abbreviated "lb".

[victorantony]

In fact in the french Polynesia, New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna they use the pacific franc which is beautiful and very colorful

[winstonc.]

Turkish lira (much like old Italian lira) means pound, as it comes from Latin. The symbol for pound in UK is £, which is a stylised "lb" which comes from the same Latin word: libra

1:33 fun fact: "Złoty" literally translates to gold

[demonax]

"złoty" means golden, which was supposed to replace gold, so it is probably the most appropriate name of the currency.

I dont feel like the “coming up“-thingy in the beginning is necessary

[AverytheCubanAmerican]

"and some Pacific islands"
some Caribbean islands use the US Dollar too! Turks and Caicos, British Virgin Islands, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba! There's also a South African rand union you didn't mention between Lesotho, South Africa, eSwatini, and Namibia as well as a CFP (Change Franc Pacifique) franc union between French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and Wallis & Futuna. The world is filled with currency unions!

[musAKulture]

yuan, won and yen are the same word with different spelling

[chainmbl]

That Cyber Punk shade had me laughing for a few minutes

[Bulumko]

4:30 You forgot about the South African Rand. It is also used (legally) in Namibia, Lesotho and eSwatini. I love your YouTube channel!

[Liggliluff]

(1:30) - Turkish lira is based on libre, the same origin as pound. There's several countries having names based on libre. That includes Turkey.
- Czechia also has a currency based on the same meaning behind krona/krone, being crown
- Chinese "yuán" and Japanese "(y)en", comes from the same origin: 圓

[jazzthrowout]

The Swiss Franc is interesting because its coins have virtually the same design since the 1870ies. In this sense its probably the 'oldest currency'...

[WillemUtUje]

Probably already mentioned a thousand times, but Brazil uses the Reaal/Reais, which means it could have been grouped with your brown colour (rial/riyal). Great video nonetheless :-) .

[hedonex]

The Czechs uses Crowns too as Scandinavia. The map lies.

[turencmpressor]

1:04 Czechia's currency is the Koruna, which is Czech for crown (same as krona in swedish)
