Every day, billions of people exchange pieces of paper, metal coins, and increasingly, numbers on a screen.

The names attached to that money often have histories stretching back centuries, with origins in weights of silver, royal crowns, ancient coins, distant cities, and even animals.

Some of the most familiar names in your wallet have surprisingly obscure beginnings.

Learn more about the currencies of the world and how they got their names on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For decades, China was transformed by revolution, war, and the radical policies of Mao Zedong.

After Mao’s death, however, power eventually fell to a man who had twice been purged, stripped of his positions, and sent into political exile.

He would never hold China’s highest formal office, yet he became its most powerful leader, set the country on a dramatically different course, and was responsible for the China we know today.

Learn more about the remarkable rise of Deng Xiaoping on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

September 17, 1862, was the bloodiest day in the history of the United States.

In just 12 hours, 22,726 people were killed, wounded, or went missing just outside of Sharpsburg, Maryland, in one of the largest battles of the US Civil War.

Despite ending in a draw, the Union's ability to hold off the Confederates was a major win, with significant political ramifications that helped shift the course of the conflict.
