Another question about the potential for giving up on pennies made me wonder. What is the smallest (in terms of value) unit of currency that has a minted coin or printed bill that is in active use worldwide?
Also, what is the value of that denomination in US Currency?
The value of a currency may be different depending on what you use for a 'value'. For example, the Japanese Yen may have a different 'value' if you are comparing it against the Euro or the US Dollar, for example.
Believe it or not, the smallest unit of currency (in terms of value of US dollars) is the Vietnamese Dong, at a value of 0.00005 Dollars per Dong.
Maybe the Zimbabwean dollar is counted differently, maybe/
moneycentral.msn.com has a cool currency converter which allows you to compare all current world currencies against a single currency, and presents it in a chart form.
