Anagram of Currency
How well up are you on the world currency?
Which of the following is not an anagram of currency?
That leaves yomassed (which the only thing I could think of was Samoyed- a breed of dog) or tatres (which I unscrambled to be tetras- a type of fish.) This was really hard!
You figured it all out, except for the misspelling I put in! Sorry about that. Samoyed is a dog. The others are: quetzale, crusado, bolivar, tester, and sesterce...
In case you were wondering: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tester "An English coin stamped with the image of Henry VIII's head. In this sense, also called tester"
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.
