Read the passage below and answer the questions.
Passage: When traveling abroad, it's important to understand how currency works. The Australian dollar (AUD) is the official currency of Australia, but in countries like the United Kingdom, Europe, and France, they use different currencies such as the British pound (GBP), Euro (EUR), and sometimes the local currency of individual European countries. Currency conversion means changing your money from one currency to another so you can buy things in the country you're visiting.
