INSTRUCTIONS: Open a new tab, login to Blogger, and click New Post.  Tell me another country where you'd like to go.  What is the currency in that country?  Use your own knowledge,  Google.com, or any othe rinternet search engine to answer the following questions:

1. What does "currency" mean?
2. What does "convert currency" mean?
3. Where is a country you want to go to, or have gone to before?  What is the currency in that country?

Ms. Davis's Answer:
1. Currency is the form of tangible money used in a location, such as paper and coins.
2. Converting currency is exchanging forms of currency between two countries.  For example, when you go to the UK, you may exchange American dollars for British pounds.
3. One country I have been to is Korea, and when I was there I used the Korean Won.  When I traveled to Thailand I exchanged Korean Won for Thai Baht at the Bangkok airport.
