The word orDINARy contains dinar, Jordan’s present currency, sKIPper contains kip (Laos) and inSOMnia som (Uzbekistan).
Compile a list of English words of similar structure i.e. claiming a valid currency’s name within it, neither in the beginning nor in the end.
Thus RANDom or erRAND would not make the list, but gRANDma
would be OK.
Finding more than one contender for a certain currency - please submit the shorter word.
