That would go over well around Japan... but doesn't win you any points in this quizz question.

1. real - Poohbear (Brazil)
2. yuan - Mianhvk (China)
3. koruna - Orlok ( Czech Republic)
4. cedi - Mianhvk (Laos)
5. gourde
6. kip
7. ringgit - Bookpossm (Malaysia)
8. tugrik - Poohbear (Monglolia)
9. dirham - Bilbo (UAE and several others)
10. zloty - Billi (Poland)

Two left... who will be the next quiz master/mistress?

If my previous guess for 9) dirham was wrong, how about Morocco? I know it's somewhere in that region.

Oops.

Sorry Bilbo... Orlok did get in the first and I missed it, as I was thinking only Morocco used it... Mea culpa.

And I made another mistake... with Anh's correct answer of 6. Kip being the currency of Laos. I put her down on number 4

1. real - Poohbear (Brazil)
2. yuan - Mianhvk (China)
3. koruna - Orlok ( Czech Republic)
4. cedi -
5. gourde
6. kip - Mianhvk (Laos)
7. ringgit - Bookpossm (Malaysia)
8. tugrik - Poohbear (Monglolia)
9. dirham - Orlok (UAE and several others)
10. zloty - Billi (Poland)

As we haven't had any new answers overnight, the last two are
4. Ghana
5. Haiti (Sorry Sneaky)

... which leaves us a three way tie between Mianhvk, Poohbear, and Orlok.

Will one of you please post the new question?

Having dived the waters around quite a few of them, I'm going to recuse myself from this round, and used the time to reformat my hard drive and do a clean install of the OS and all my programs...

2. Antigua -- Caribbean Sea
3. Faroe (near Scotland) -- Atlantic Ocean?
4. San Michele -- ??
5. Naxos -- ??

7. South Georgia (near Russia) -- Black Sea?
8. Madeira (near Spain?) -- Atlantic Ocean?
9. Gotland -- ??
10. St. Peter Island -- ??
11. Maldives -- Indian Ocean?
12. Nabih Saleh -- ??
13. Mykonos (near Greece?) -- Aegean Sea?
14. Baffin -- ??
15. Fatu Hiva -- ??
