About the currencies of East Asia
East Asia has 6 countries in this quiz, each asked about the currency it actually spends. The complete list, with the currency of every country, sits directly below the game.
The countries here range from China at 9,706,961 km² down to Taiwan at 36,193 km², and from 1.41 billion in China to 3.6 million in Mongolia — economies of very different sizes using currencies of very different reach.
Those 6 countries spend 6 different currencies between them. Chinese yuan is the most widely used, in 1 of them, which is what makes a currency quiz easier than the country count suggests — and what makes the remainder worth learning properly.
Wrong answers here are drawn from countries in the same region, and never repeat a currency name, so a question about East Asia cannot be won by spotting the only plausible option.

Frequently asked questions
How many countries are in this quiz?
This quiz covers all 6 entries in East Asia. Questions are drawn from the full set, and the complete list appears in the table on this page.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your score stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.
How are the wrong answers chosen?
Deliberately, not at random. Each question prefers flags that are genuinely confusable with the right answer, then countries from the same sub-region, so guessing by elimination does not work.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free with no limit on how many times you play.
