Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In Botswana, the currency is the Pula. One Pula is made up of 100 of a smaller denomination. What is the name of the smaller denomination that makes up the Pula?

Answer: Thebe

Before the monetary reform, there were 100 cents to a Thebe. The only coins in circulation at that time were the 50-cent coin and the 10-Thebe coin.
2. In China, the currency is the Renminbi Yuan. Ten Jiao make up one Renminbi Yuan, but how many Fen make up one Jiao?

Answer: 10

Before China became a People's Republic, each individual state of China used its own currency. Most used the Dollar or the Cash, but some used the Fen.
3. The currency of Macao is the Pataca, but as with most currencies, there is a smaller denomination than the Pataca. In fact, 100 of these make up the Pataca. What am I talking about?

Answer: Avo

Macao first started producing coins in 1952, much later than the other Portuguese colonies of Timor, Mozambique, and Angola. Unlike Timor, Mozambique, and Angola, Macao never used the Escudo/Centavo currency system.
4. In Madagascar, the currency used to be the Franc. At this time, 100 centimes made up a Franc. Now, the country uses the Ariary as the currency. True or false: there are 100 Aretes to one Ariary.

Answer: False

This is false. One Ariary is the equivalent of five old Francs, but there is no smaller denomination than the Ariary today.
