Questions

Which currency is used in the most countries?

The euro (28), the United States dollar (10) and the West African CFA franc (8), counting places that use it alongside a local currency.

Should I change money before I fly?

Usually a little, for the first taxi or snack. Cards work in most cities, and a cash machine at the airport often gives a better rate than a change desk. Ask your bank about foreign fees.
