    You made me curious.

    It appears that there are 180 currencies recognised by the UN. It also appears that there are less independent currencies, the example I saw was the Danish Kroner which has a fixed exchange rate with the Euro.

    What I don’t see in this are other forms of exchange. There’s the obvious crypto currencies, of which I’m in no doubt there are plenty.

    But that’s not the only way to exchange value. Barter is one, donation is another. I suspect that there are plenty more.

        Well, that’s just not true.

        The person receiving the donation receives something of value and the person who donates receives either a good feeling or a tax deduction, or both.
