Francs Copy
canadian dollar?
How come in canada they call their money the dollar? Copying the US?
Countries have so many names. Pound, franc, euro, yen…..
Why did they choose to copy the US dollar?
They were closer to the UK. They could have copied the pound?
On top of what every one else has pointed out (the dollar isn’t an American creation nor uniquely American) the franc, euro and yen were never limited to one single country.
The franc was/is used by:
France
Switzerland
Liechtenstein
Comoros
Belgium
Luxembourg
and fourteen African countries
The euro is used by Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain) and will extend to include Cyprus and Malta from 1 January 2008.
The yen is used by Japan and has been used by Korea and Taiwan.
So it’s not uncommon for multiple countries to share currency names.
