Best Answer

denomination is the physical representative (coins, bills, pieces, etc.) of trust in payment and actual tradable goods.

i.e. Rather than trading 10 chickens for one cow, the cow owner is paid in a denomination of a certain acceptable currency (usually only that country's) of equal value to 10 chickens, because:

1. the owner knows he can trade that denomination of currency for 10 chickens at any time.

and 2. its easier to carry bills, coins, etc. than 10 chickens in your pocket

The largest circulating denomination in the US is currently $100. Up to 1945, bills were issued in denominations up to $10,000 but these were rarely used. In terms of numeric denomination, but not purchasing power, the highest-denomination bill issued anywhere in the world was 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars, but its purchasing power was negligible due to hyperinflation.


What does denomination of currency mean?

Currency denominations are the units the particular currency is issued in. For example, in the U.S. bills are made and circulated in the familiar denominations of $1, $10, and $20, amongst others.
