How many different currencies did you use?

Inspired by a talk with Yli, this topic is to show off how many different (possibly exotic) countries you've visited by counting the different currencies you've once made a transaction with. Given enough response, I might turn this into a ranking.

My only list is quite short:
Dutch Guilder
Deutsche Mark
Italian Lire
(Introduce the Euro here)
Euro
Danish Crown
United States Dollar

6 currencies for me in total

14 currencies. Never thought it would be that many!
Some might argue Scottish pound to be the same thing as the English one, but then again it's just another currency with a 1:1 exchange rate to English pound.
