    b : general use, acceptance, or prevalence a story gaining currency

    c : the quality or state of being current : currentness needed to check the accuracy and currency of the information

    2 a : something (such as coins, treasury notes, and banknotes) that is in circulation as a medium of exchange

    b : paper money in circulation

    c : a common article for bartering Furs were once used as currency.

    d : a medium of verbal or intellectual expression … neither side possessed any currency but clichés … —Jan Struther
