There are over 100 official recognized currencies circulating around the world. The most used currency globally is the Euro and US Dollar. Some African countries have the common Central African State or West African State Franc. There are also some countries that are not completely world recognized, but they have their own currency, such as Transnistria, Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh to name a few.
Several countries have adopted the US Dollar, and some have completely converted to the Dollar. The same can be said to the Euro, the difference is that there is no adoption, but rather a complete conversion to a new currency.
