About the currencies of South America

South America has 12 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 Brazil at 8,515,767 km² down to Suriname at 163,820 km², and from 212.8 million in Brazil to 640 thousand in Suriname — economies of very different sizes using currencies of very different reach.

Those 12 countries spend 12 different currencies between them. Argentine peso 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 South America cannot be won by spotting the only plausible option.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 12 entries in South America. 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.
