Consider adding “sheqel” as a type-in like other quizzes do, because that’s the only reason I almost missed it!

"Centavo" just means "cent" in Spanish. I don't think it deserves a separate entry.

I'd suggest replacing it for ₿ (the bitcoin sign).

We just want the names of the currencies, without presuming to claim what they might translate into in other languages. The suffix -avo means portion in Spanish, so in any case 'centavo' would not be a direct translation from the English word 'cent' anyway.

You are confusing meaning and etymology here. "Cent" in English means exactly the same than "Centavo" in Spanish, which is a 1/100th of any basic currency unit. Every bilingual dictionary will give them as direct translations, and a Spanish speaker will talk about "centavos" even when referring to a fraction of a dollar.

But be it as you will. Your test, your rules. :)

Yes it would. It is a direct translation.

No it wouldn't. What you're saying is the equivalent of claiming John and Ivan are the same names because they are "direct translations" of each other.

There are plenty of 'direct translations' for 'dong', but that doesn't mean they should be accepted.

come to think of it... I think I've had every one of these currencies in my pocket before, in some form or another, at one point or another, except for the Brazilian real and the South African rand. Though the pesos and centavos I had I think may have used different symbols I'm not sure.

oh wait, also never any Chinese Yuan... though I have had a wallet full of Hong Kong dollars.

I was convinced the $ is also used for Ringgit. Turns out they haven't used it since 1994 or something. I don't know whether I feel more old or thick.

what country uses the centavo? isn't it just one 100th of a real?

14 countries, mainly in Latin America, use centavos. Centavos have 100th of the value of their larger currency units, which vary from country to country but which include reals, pesos and bolivianos,
