Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Mr Grumps is in Austria visiting Salzburg's "Old Town" but right now he needs to know which currency to use to purchase his lunch. Which one should he use?

Answer: Euro

The euro is the standard currency used in Austria, and consists of 100 cents per euro. It can be had in seven different bills as well as eight coins.

2. Since Mr Grumps is travelling alphabetically, Brazil is his next destination as he tours the Iguacu National Park. Which currency will he be using in this country?

Answer: Brazilian real

The Brazilian real can be divided into 100 centavos. A new version was introduced in 1994 to replace the cruzeiro real in an attempt to stabilize the Brazilian economy. R$ is the currency symbol for the real.

3. Mr. Grumps has discovered some pesos in his wallet so he decides to visit Cienfuegos. In which country will Mr Grumps find this world heritage site and spend his pesos?

Answer: Cuba

The Cuban peso is also called the national peso. Two official currencies are used in Cuba. The "national" peso is one of them, while the "convertible" peso is the other. The convertible pesos are more valuable than the national peso and the prices of items that are bought in national pesos are controlled.

Answer: Krone

Mr Grumps will be using the Danish krone, the official currency used in Denmark. It is also used in Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The krone can be had in 11 denominations. Although major parties were in favour of adopting the Euro it was rejected by the 2000 referendum. Nevertheless, the Danish krone is closely pegged to the Euro.

Answer: Egyptian pound

The Egyptian pound was introduced in 1834. It became the main unit of currency to replace the Egyptian piastre. On April 3, 1899 banknotes were issued for the first time. An Egyptian pound consists of 100 piastres or 1000 millimes.

Answer: Euro

The Euro is the unit of currency used by 19 of the 28 member states of the European Union. It is also used outside of Europe by some of the overseas territories of EU members. The euro is the second most traded currency in the world.

7. Ghana is next on Mr. Grumps list as he wants to explore the historic forts and castles in that region. He heard that he will need to have some nairas to spend there. Is his informant correct?

Answer: No

Nairas are used in Nigeria. The Ghanaian cedi is the only legal tender in the Republic of Ghana. The cedi replaced the British pound system. A Ghanaian cedi is comprised of a hundred pesewas.

Answer: Haiti

The Sans-Souci Palace, the Citadelle Laferriere and Buildings of Ramiers are all world heritage sites in Haiti. The Haitian Gourde is the official currency used in Haiti. In Jamaica the Jamaican dollar is used. The Bahamian dollar is used in the Bahamas and St, Lucia uses the East Caribbean dollar.

Answer: Rupee

He will certainly need the Indian rupee since the Taj Mahal is in Agra, India. The rand is used in South Africa. The ruble is used in Russia and the riyal is used in Saudi Arabia.

Answer: Ogasarawa Islands

Since the yen is the official currency in Japan it would be prudent for good, old Grumps to visit the Ogasarawa Islands in Tokyo and build up some courage to face Mrs Grumps who by this time would be steaming through her ears. The city of Cuzco is in Peru. To go there Grumps would need some Peruvian Nuevo Sol. To go to Masada Grumps would need some Israeli New Sheqel and to hang out at the Yellowstone National Park in America he would need some American dollars.
