How much foreign currency do you own?

[Ski]

Here's the latest in my series of completely useless polls.
By foreign, I mean "not from your country".

Currently I have (all coins) $1.60 Canadian (loonie, quarters, and a dime), €0.10, and nine Mexican pesos. I'm sure someone has me beaten easily.

I've got about 200 Pfennig from the late 1980s when my Mom and her sisters went to Germany. And I've got some canadian coins of various denominations.

[May]

I probably have a bunch of Canadian money lying around (good thing since it's worth the same as the US dollar now)...and I have about $5.00 in South Korean money.

[Cassi]

I have quite a bit of US change...probably a couple dollars. I might still have a bit of change (zloti...actually, no, I can't remember what the coins are called) around from when I went to Poland, but I'm not sure. We always seem to have some Euro coins around, though I'm not sure why. I've never even been anywhere that uses the Euro...

Not counting the coins I have collected and cannot easily quantify (representing many different countries):
Desk in front of me:
600 Won
1436 Yen
Stored away somewhere:
At least 20k Yen
At least 10k Won

All leftovers from my trip this summer.

Some Cents around somewhere, as well as a few Fil's (Kenyan money... Or Saudi Arabian? Sufficed to say my Uncle gave them to me because he found it amusing)

Edit:
Well okay then, I have 5 (Euro) Cent coin (Spanish) a Five pence piece from Jersey, and a Coin from the Czech Republic. (Well, I typed in Ceska and it sent me there anyway)
All of which is quite odd as no one in the family has been to two of them, and my dads not been to spain in about 15 years...

[Siouxper]

Canadian money (only a few cents)
Jamaican Money (nothing much)

[laurencecom]

I have a heckofalot of chinese money(1000 yen!)
a lot of canadian money(I used to live in canada)
and some iranian and korean money.

[matchbow]

I have 200 yuan somewhere, and a $50 bill of American moeny as well. i've been saving that bill for ever, but the canadian dollar's just been getting higher, gah

*cough* technically it's worth more.

Just saying.

Irish, British, and a whole whack of Euros. And lots of Greek monies (Dracma? I can't remember what it was called) and I can't remember if it was Irish Punts either.. oiy. It's been awhile since I travelled.

There's a lot of Australian Dollars, Korean Won, Chinese Yuan, and Japanese Yen lying around the place. No idea how much. Also a bit of US, HK, and Fiji about the place. Apart from the banknote currencies like the Yuan it's mostly untradable coinage hence the lying aroundness.

[guineadan]

Erm, I have quite a lot of old coins (dating back centuries ago) from different countries - so they probably don't count? =3

In modern currency, I have about 20 euros, 7 Cypriot Pounds and 1.10 US dollars (all in coins, though)

[munduses]

1,000,000 Old Turkish Lira. That is (or was) approximately $0,80. Talk about inflation.
50 Indian Rupee
A bunch of Swedish, Israeli, Danish and Cypriot coins
One Norwegian coin and 5 yuan (no idea how and why I have these though; never been in either country)
Some Spanish money
Two South African coins

I should have some more foreign money somewhere, but heck, I'm not spending my whole Sunday looking for them, only for the sake of this poll! *runs out*

[Anoohilator]

Not sure of the quantities but around the house we have Danish Krones, Swedish Krones, Euros, Iranian money, Iraqi money, American dollars aaaaaand a 20p piece from an island somewhere that has the Queen's head on it.

[Cerise]

I have a Canadian paper dollar and five dollar bill, and a bunch of Canadian change. Then I have about 8 euros in change. Thats about it. Ive only ever been to the US, Canada, and euro-using countries.
