* ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'': An issue with this forms the backbone of a major subplot for the [[FestivalEpisode Tempest Founding Festival arc]] in Volume 9. While the world uses plenty of varying types of currency (from bartering goods directly, [=IOUs=], or even coins technically out of circulation), the modern accepted "common currency" for trading are gold coins minted in Dwargon. Treasure and gold coins from ancient kingdoms which are no longer considered in circulation have to be accepted and converted to Dwargon coins. Tempest finds itself in the awkward position of running out of Dwargon gold coins to pay all the merchants who took part in the festival, but curiously enough many of these merchants who are licensed tradesmen with nations from the [[FictionalUnitedNations Council of the West]] are ''insisting'' that they will only accept payment in said gold coins and won't accept other alternate payment methods, not even to convert themselves, and they technically have the right to such a demand per international laws. Tempest was originally planning to finance most of the festival costs on all the treasure they took from [[spoiler:Demon Lord Clayman's territory]] as spoils of war, hence why this originally wasn't a concern, but now they don't have the funds in the acceptable currency. It quickly becomes apparent to Tempest's top brass that this is a concentrated engineered scenario by someone [[spoiler:(read, the Five Elders)]] to try and ruin their reputation on the economic front. Rimuru manages to get the extra coinage he needs thanks to being a close ally to Dwargon's King Gazel and an assist from Sarion's Queen Elumeshia, who remarks that it's very likely that someone directly in on the conspiracy would have made AnOfferYouCantRefuse at the eleventh hour to provide the necessary coinage and thus make Tempest owe them a "favor" in the future, which comes true when [[spoiler:the Elders' pawn Duke Meuse]] tries to make such an offer before Rimuru [[DidntSeeThatComing brings the money in]].

* Even in the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'', which is famed for its detailed {{Worldbuilding}} and in which you play as characters from four different nations of the world of Zemuria (sometimes warring with each other) to date throughout the various arcs, this is still a thing. Mira is the currency of choice here.

** The game does have a large list of other collectibles referred to and treated as currencies, from PvP Tokens and boss tokens primarily used for gear, to specific items only accepted by minor factions: Sporeggar only takes a certain mushroom; Ogri'la only takes a certain crystal; the Winterfin murlocs only take a certain species of clam. Most of these currencies, however, are a currency primarily for the sake of gameplay, and in universe represent something more like a proof of a deed or service (one of the reasons they usually can't be traded between players), or are sought after for a specific reason by their respective vendors independent of the vendor's ability to still buy anything from the player in the universal set of copper, silver, and gold coins.

* The Euro was started as an attempt to go in this direction. Initially, the member states of the European Union each had their own national currency (the French franc, the Italian lira, the German mark, etc.) as members of the European Monetary Union, both current and prospective European Union members are obliged to eventually adopt the euro (though one current member and one former member have permanent opt-out exemptions: Denmark[[note]]the Danish krone is pegged to the euro, though[[/note]] and [[UsefulNotes/WithEuropeButNotOfIt the United Kingdom]]). As of 2015, 19 of the 28 member states use the euro as their national currency (beside the two exempt, the other seven are formally obliged to at some point but currently do not because their economies joining right now is deemed too disruptive). Four non-EU countries (Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City) have written agreements with the EU to use the euro for themselves, while Montenegro and Kosovo have done so unilaterally (they previously used the German mark). Several other currencies are also pegged to the euro--many of these were formerly pegged to a national currency that the euro succeeded (for example, the West African franc--itself a common currency of eight West African countries--used to be pegged to the French franc).
