168 according to the Universal Currency Converter:There are as many currencies as there are populated countries.Actually there are rather less, seeing as some countries share the same currency (E.G. the Eurozone). In terms of official currencies, there are 168 according to the Universal Currency Convertor but there may be many other things people use to represent money which are not official currencies.__________________________________________________________________There are currently 168 internationally recognized unique national currencies, but in the exact question you asked, WORLD currencies, there are only 2: the US dollar and the Euro.

its nok..
The Nok people lived in what is now Nigeria, primarily in the central region around the Jos Plateau. They were known for their terracotta sculptures and were one of the earliest known ancient civilizations in West Africa.
The Nok culture in present-day Nigeria is believed to be one of the first in Africa to develop ironworking technology around 500 BC south of the Sahara. They were known for their skilled ironworking and terracotta artistry, crafting intricate sculptures and tools. The Nok culture played a vital role in shaping the development of iron technology in West Africa.
