Currencies

In general, currency is anything that holds value and can be exchanged for goods or services. For example, money is the most common currency with the dollar, represented with the dollar sign ($), being the currency used in the United States.

Change a spreadsheet cell to currency

In a spreadsheet, you can change the format of the cell to any currency format supported by that program. For example, in Microsoft Excel you can click the currency button (dollar sign shown to the right) in the Home tab and choose from any currency format.

Tip

Press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+$ (dollar sign) to change the cell formatting to currency.

Insert currency symbols in other programs

If the program you are using supports extended characters, you can copy any of the symbols above and paste them into your program of choice. Otherwise, insert a symbol from the programs insert option or enter the decimal value as an alternate code. For example, in Microsoft Word and other programs, hold down the Alt key and enter any of the above decimal numbers on the number pad. In other words, you could hold down the Alt key and then on the number pad type 0162 to enter the cent symbol. In this example, typing "162" alone gives a different symbol, if this happens, add a "0" to the front of the number.

Digital currency and in-game currency

Like currencies that are in the real world, in-game currencies and digital currencies can also have real-life values. For example, in online games like World of Warcraft, people pay real money for in-game currency because of the time it takes to earn game money.

Other digital currencies, like the popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin, can be used to

purchase real-life goods and services.
