Name that currency and the country it's from. I've provided both bills and coins for the currency. For #17-#20, they are fictional currencies. Name the currency and where they are from as well.

I wanted to include both coins and notes. I could have used a quarter, but I felt like using the Sacajawea. Plus I'd gladly take all the Sacajaweas and deposit it.
I will say there were a pain to deal with when I worked at a bank, but in all honesty the US is so behind in adapting like other countries when it comes to getting rid of the $1 notes and using coins.
I really like the currencies of 17-20. They are the best.
I once needed to buy a 2$ train ticket, but only had a 20. No one would give me change. When I bought my ticket, it gave me 18 Sacajaweas. I felt like I had won at a slot machine.

18 was my favorite as well. I tried helping Ro find pictures of more fictional currencies for funsies. That shit is almost non-existent. There's lots of talk in sci-fi and fantasy about currency, but almost no images.
Imperial credits, courtesy of the Star Wars Monopoly Collector's Edition, circa 1996. I highly doubt they are canon, but hey, a man can try to contribute to the convo:
Should do this using board game money and you have to identify the game.
I did a board game one as one of before we knew there as a Photo Friday thing. Close of of certain tiles or game pieces would be good too for more German board games.
To answer Omar's question from the latest episode: The New York Americans were a hockey team, but their demise is in fact what started the Original Six era as the league shrank from 10 teams in 1930 to 6 teams by the end of 1942, with the Americans being the last to die after the Ottawa Senators, Pittsburgh Pirates and Montreal Maroons.
Oh, and the Toronto Maple Leafs haven't won the Cup since 1967.
The Leafs may also earn the dubious distinction of being the only team that hasn't made it into the playoffs since the Lockout this season, provided that the Florida Panthers do.
