About this quiz

What you’ll practice

ISO currency codes show up in banking, travel, trading, and online checkout—this quiz helps you recognize them instantly. You’ll practice linking 3-letter ISO codes (like USD, JPY, ZAR) to the correct currency name.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can focus on accuracy first and speed later.

Difficulty and quiz settings

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: familiar majors appear alongside regional and easily confused codes to keep the challenge balanced. Before you start, you can choose how many questions to play and select a difficulty level that matches your comfort.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many mistakes come from similar-looking codes, currencies shared across multiple countries, or mixing up a country code with a currency code. Watch for lookalikes and remember that some currency names repeat while the ISO code is what stays specific.

Don’t assume the first letter always matches the country name (e.g., CHF)
Watch for currencies with similar abbreviations (AUD vs CAD, NOK vs DKK)
Separate currency codes from country codes (SEK vs SWE)
Remember currency unions and shared currencies (EUR, XOF, XAF)
Treat “dollar/peso/krone” as families—use the ISO code to be precise

Tips to improve quickly

If you miss one, take a second to note the region and any pattern in the code, then try again later with a shorter set. Replaying with a higher difficulty after you’re consistent on the basics is the fastest way to lock in long-term recall.
