ok, let's play #fridaygeotrivia
Name countries whose currency name is unique. For example, while Australia , Singapore
, and the US
all use “dollars”, Albania
is the only country whose currency is the Lek.
As always, no cheating by just searching for the answer, and you must include the emoji flag and the #fridageotrivia hashtag (otherwise hard for us to see the answer).

@opencage the United Kingdom with the GBP British Sterling Pound, that must be unique? #fridaygeotrivia
@arferrand Isle of Man uses a pound as well
@opencage, but isn't the official name Sterling. Sterling has nothing about the common usage of British pound.
