Solution

Answer:

The word currency is derived from the Middle English term curraunt meaning in circulation. So, the currency is money in circulation, which is used as a medium of exchange. Money is in the form of coins or paper, which are typically issued by a government and widely accepted as a means of payment at its face value.

In the modern world, the currency is the primary medium of exchange, having long ago substituted bartering as a way of exchanging goods & services. Every country has its domestic currency.
