About World Currencies bingo
World Currencies Bingo lists 48 national currencies, grouped in families that share a name, such as seven dollars, five pesos and four rupees, alongside one-of-a-kind names like the “Hungarian forint”, “Ghanaian cedi”, “Ukrainian hryvnia” and “Peruvian sol”. It suits middle- and high-school economics and geography, travel clubs and adults who like a trickier quiz.
On a 5x5 card with a free center, World Currencies bingo shows 24 of the 48 entries, so each one lands on about 50% of the cards: in a set of 30, Euro or US dollar appears on roughly 15 cards. Card 1 leaves out 24 of them, including US dollar, Canadian dollar and New Zealand dollar, so no single card can mark everything.
A host reads out one entry at a time from the printed caller sheet (all 48 of them, shuffled); players daub the square if their card has it and call bingo on a full line.

Print the World Currencies cards
Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with Polish zloty, Euro, Argentine peso, Kenyan shilling and Ghanaian cedi.
-
Print the caller sheet
All 48 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with British pound, Philippine peso, Colombian peso, South African rand and New Zealand dollar; tick each one as you read it out.
-
Call only the country and let players find its currency, so hearing Poland leads to the “Polish zloty” and Thailand to the “Thai baht”.
-
Point out the Nordic spellings when they are called: “Swedish krona” and “Icelandic krona” versus the “Norwegian krone” and “Danish krone”.
-
Bring a few real coins or banknotes if you have them from travel, and pass one round when its currency, such as the “Euro”, is called.
-
Call until someone shouts bingo
With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 13 (Sri Lankan rupee in this set's order) and a blackout near call 43; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.
