This list contains the 146 or 147 legal or de-facto currencies of the 193 UN member states, the  Vatican City,  Taiwan,  Kosovo,  Palestine,  Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, and 50 dependencies (in italics, cf. this list). After all the likely changes have been made, the number will be reduced by 35 or 36 and  Ecuador and  Timor-Leste may have adopted their own currencies (again), making the probable total 113.

Notes

  1. ^ a b c d e Should the United Kingdom eventually join the euro, it is not decided what will happen to the related pound currencies (Falkland Islands pound, Gibraltar pound, Guernsey pound, Isle of Man pound, Jersey pound, and Saint Helenian pound), which could remain in existence with a fixed exchange rate to the euro (like the CFP franc), or which could be replaced by the euro as well, possibly with their own national obverse side.
  2. ^ a b c d e f g h i EU members: Denmark is eligible to join the euro at any time they wish, but has an opt-out, as does the United Kingdom. Lithuania has been eligible to join the euro since 28 June 2006. Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Sweden are obliged to join the euro, but not yet members of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism II; Sweden deliberately fails to meet this criterion for adopting the euro without having an opt-out. Andorra is in negotiations to formally adopt the euro as its legal tender.
    Accession countries/candidates: Should Albania, Iceland, Macedonia, Montenegro and Turkey ultimately join the EU, they will probably join the euro. Furthermore, Cape Verde has considered changing its currency to the euro; however, it is not quite clear whether the country will integrate with ECOWAS or with EU. French Polynesia, New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna have been discussing the idea of abolishing the franc pacifique and adopting the euro.
  3. ^ a b c d Country not internationally recognised.

Remote future:
African Economic Community, Arab Maghreb Union, ASEAN,  Caribbean Community,2008? File:Flag of South America.svg Union of South American Nations, Economic Community of West African States (as a merger of CFA franc and Eco),[1] South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation and Southern African Development Community have all considered working towards a common currency.
