    A Linguistic Look at the Currencies of the World

    All currencies officially used by a country or territory. It is possible I've made some mistakes, so please do correct me if you spot any. This map does not reflect my or any political views.

    Technically the Netherlands Antillean guilder should be on here, with Curaçao and Sint Maarten, alongside the Caribbean guilder, but I figured it's not worth adding a currency that will no longer be officially used in a little over half a month.

    See this post for the best quality.

    History on Maps...
    History on Maps...

    Greetings everyone!

    Today, I’d like to spark your interest with a topic that is quite close to me personally, but also accessible to many others, history through maps.

    I come from a place in Serbia, specifically in Vojvodina, more precisely from Bački Jarak. Bački Jarak has an interesting history, but the fields and land surrounding it have an even more intriguing one.

    Namely, a Roman historian from the 4th century, Ammianus Marcellinus, while describing Emperor Constantine’s military campaigns against the Sarmatians in Bačka, informs us that after his victory, the emperor relocated the restless Sarmatian tribes to other territories, while allowing the free Sarmatians to remain in the area of Šajkaška — the region between the Danube and Tisa rivers — and securing them with an additional border: a large trench with an embankment.

    The Romans didn’t live in the area between the Tisa and Danube permanently, but they did occasionally occupy southern Bačka and maintained these borderlands as a kind of counter-limes. This territory was inhabited by free Sarmatians, who at times served as a buffer zone meant to prevent and repel attacks from other Sarmatian and Germanic tribes coming from the north and east, thus occasionally serving as border guards of the Roman Empire.

    In this area of southern Bačka, there were two notable defensive structures: the Small Trench and the Great Trench. The Small Trench, roughly speaking, followed the flow of the Danube, while the Great Trench cut across the land between the Tisa and Danube rivers.

    It is assumed that at least the Great Trench was navigable, since it began and ended near the Danube and the Tisa, or more precisely, at what used to be their courses, specifically near War Island (Ratno ostrvo) and the Dead Tisa (Mrtva Tisa).

    There is speculation that the Great Trench may have also been built to facilitate navigation and communication, shortening the waterway and avoiding the Tisa’s confluence with the Danube, which at the time was difficult to sail through.

    Why is all this so interesting to me? Well, because I recently found out that I live just a few dozen meters from what could be considered a large construction although now in poor condition, mainly the Small Trench, but also the Great Trench, near which we practically grew up.

    And what does all of this have to do with maps, you ask? Quite a bit, actually and you’ll see that for yourself by going through the images I’ve attached...

    There is a website that publishes old topographic maps of various parts of Europe. It’s called Arcanum Maps, and here’s the link and my recommendation:

    [https://maps.arcanum.com/en/]

    I had the misfortune, or rather, the luck of my people having been under the rule of the Habsburg monarchy, and the fortunate part is that, unlike the Ottomans, the Austrians were much more organized and advanced, so we now have records like this about our area.

    On various maps, from different time periods from the 17th to the 20th century, you can trace the development of my village and its surroundings.

    However, one thing has endured for almost 17 centuries: the complex of Roman trenches, which are visible on many of these maps.

    My curiosity intensified when I noticed that a nearby street perfectly aligns with the "path" of the Small Trench, something I confirmed by comparing it with modern satellite images from Google Earth.

    In addition to that, I managed to identify former, but still visible structures from satellite, thanks to the filling of infertile yellow soil ("žutica"), such as gates that were once part of the trench complex.

    I even found similar, though probably not identical, examples from abroad and assumed that these structures likely resembled those in other parts of the world.

    I hope I haven’t bored you with this little outburst of local patriotism and storytelling, and that the drawings, photos, and maps I’ve included are clear enough...

    Wishing you all the best with this, my very first post on this sub!

    For National Corn on the Cob Day (June 11) we mapped corn production data by state based on U.S. Department of Agriculture data for 2023. Five states produce over one billion bushels of corn annually: Iowa (2.52 billion bu.), Illinois (2.28 billion bu.), Nebraska (1.73 billion bu.), Minnesota (1.51 billion bu.), and Indiana (1.08 billion bu.).
