The word franc appears in franchise, dinar in ordinary and dime in dimension.

Compile a list of common Englsh words with currency names embedded in them.

An effort is made to not repeat the currency names in Charlie's list and not to repeat the currency name (though some words might actually be composed of more than one). It is an incomplete list of currencies that can appear in English words. Some of the words appearing may not be considered common, yet common is not a well-defined term:
