What is the defference between money and currency?

There really is no difference in the terms of money and currency. Currency usually means a form of payment now, when it used to mean paper money. Money means cash and coin as a form of payment. Both terms can also mean credit cards, debit cards, money orders, and all other forms of payment. Checks are still used, but less frequently.

How many Rupees are equal to one Euro?

As of July 2017, the rate was about 74 Indian rupees (INR) to the Euro. The exchange rate in June was only around 72 rupees to the Euro, the India currency having lost relative value at the end of June. However, international currency conversions can change on a daily or even hourly basis, and this forms the basis of investments on several currency exchanges. There are websites such as Xrates.com that offer this updated information (one link is in the discussion below).


Relationship of money to economy?

Economy encompasses the whole of buying and selling of goods and services. Money is the currency used to buy and sell. Money is either coins or paper that is symbolic of the wealth it represents. Money backed by gold is stronger and more reliable than money backed by copper. Fiat money is utterly useless as there is nothing but consumer confidence to back it. Gold and even copper have been around and backing currency for thousands of years, and will always possess intrinsic value. Consumer confidence is as fickle as a 13 year old boy at a Sadie Hawkins dance and possess no intrinsic value. A dollar floated as "fiat" is a vulnerable currency, and if other forms of currency are entered into the same market economy that are backed by money with intrinsic value the fiat dollar will weaken as the money backed by wealth will strengthen.

How much would 20 dollars from the 1700's be worth today?

Best possible answer, it depends. In the 1700's there are as many forms of currency in the the colonies and the infant US as there are colonies (in some cases cities and banks) and states. Some are far more rare than others. These are only the beginning variables. Additionally, there is the very important matter of grading or quality. Some forms of currency from the US and the 18th century are going to have more intrinsic value than others. More specificity is necessary for a more specific answer.
