currency
含义: A system of money used in a country; the state of being current
Currency primarily refers to the money system used in a particular country (pounds, euros, dollars). Different countries have different currencies that can be exchanged at varying rates. The word can also mean the state of being widely accepted or in circulation—an idea can gain currency when it becomes popular. Foreign currency is money from other countries.
