    Because the EU doesn’t use the cent, they use the Euro. A cent is a fraction of a euro.

    The Yen is like that because they had hyperinflation for a while.

    This comment really doesn’t make sense.

      The point of the comment is to point out the common misconception that the value of one [token of a currency] has anything to do with the strength of a currency. As described in the comment, the value of a singular token of a currency can be chosen arbitrarily.

      This, of course, doesn’t mean the map is factually incorrect.
