      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

      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
