<城西大川越改〉
All countries use money, In the US, they use dollars, In Japan, they use yen, In India, they
use rupees. If you want to go to a different country, you must change your money. When you go
from England to India, you ( ① ) have to change pounds into rupees. When you go from Japan
to the US, you must change yen into dollars. A country's money is called its Currency.
Changing one country's money into A country's money is called "currency exchange."
Currency exchange is not free, You ( ③ ) go to a bank or special money changing office.
They will make you pay some small amount in order to change your money, So, it costs ( ④ )
to change money.
Exchanging money can be confusing. When you arrive in a new place, you do not know the
prices in the new currency right away So, you do not always know how much money you are
spending. For example, let's imagine one dollar is exchanged for 120 yen. So, an American in
Japan may have little idea how much his or her lunch really costs in dollars!

Currency exchange problems used to be very bad in Europe. Europe has many very small
countries, and people travel from country to country a lot in Europe. For this reason, they
decided to change to one currency, the Euro. Today, most of the countries in Europe use the Euro
as their money. In fact, more and more countries will use the Euro in the future. Now you (⑦)
travel from Italy to France, or from Spain to Finland, and never have to change your money.
The idea of having one currency seems popular. Maybe one day B parts of the world could
join their currencies, like countries in the Middle East, or countries in Asia. Maybe one day we
will have C currency for the whole world!
