This list contains the 157 or 158 legal or de-facto currencies of the 191 UN member states (one of which - Serbia and Montenegro - is split up into Serbia, Montenegro, and Kosovo), the Vatican City, Taiwan, and 40 dependencies (in italics). After all the likely changes have been made, the number will be reduced by 38 or 39 and Timor-Leste will have adopted its own currency, making the probable total 120.

Notes

Technical notes:
Template:Fnb country not internationally recognized.

Changes:
Template:Fnb Should the United Kingdom eventually join the Euro, it is not decided what will happen to the related pound currencies (Falkland Islands pound, Gibraltar pound, Guernsey pound, Isle of Man pound, Jersey pound, and Saint Helenian pound), which could remain in existence with a fixed exchange rate to the Euro (like the CFP franc), or which could be replaced by the Euro as well, possibly with their own national obverse side.
Unification:
Template:Fnb
EU members: Denmark is eligible to join the Euro, but has an opt-out, as does the United Kingdom. Estonia, Lithuania, and Slovenia will be eligible to join the Euro on or after 29 June 2006. Cyprus, Latvia, and Malta will be eligible to join the Euro on or after 3 May 2007. Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Sweden are obliged to join the Euro, but not yet members of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism II; Sweden deliberately fails to meet this criterion for adopting the Euro without having an opt-out. Andorra is in negotiations to formally adapt the Euro as its legal tender.
Accession countries/candidates: Once Bulgaria and Romania have joined the EU, they are also obliged to join the Euro, which will most likely happen at the earliest date possible for Bulgaria, owing to their extremely tight monetary policy. Should Croatia and Turkey ultimately join, they too will probably join the Euro. The same holds true for Macedonia. Furthermore, Cape Verde and New Caledonia have considered officially changing their currencies to the Euro.
Template:Fnb in the proposed Union of Russia and Belarus, the Belarusian ruble and the Russian ruble would be merged into a single currency.

Remote future:
ASEAN, CARICOM, SAARC, SACN, SADC and UMA have all considered working towards a common currency. None of these developments seem likely at the moment.
