You’ll discover bills and coins with different names, shapes, sizes, designs and values in other countries. What costs $1.00 in the United States will only buy 0.91 cents worth of goods in Europe. But you’ll get $1.36 in Canadian dollars, £1.50 in Australian pounds, and ¥6.87 in Chinese Yuan. No matter where you visit, you’ll need to add and subtract with money amounts of any kind!
