In recent times, the name was used by three currencies in circulation:

* In [[Poland]], a ''{{lang|pl|grosz}}'' (plural: ''{{lang|pl|grosze}}'' or ''{{lang|pl|groszy}}'', depending on the number) is a {{frac|100}} part of a {{lang|pl|[[Polish złoty|złoty]]}}
* In [[Austria]], a ''{{lang|de|Groschen}}'' (plural: ''{{lang|de|Groschen}}'') was a {{frac|100}} part of a ''{{lang|de|[[Austrian schilling|Schilling]]}}'' (1924–38 and 1945–2001)
* In Turkey, a ''[[kuruş]]'' is a 1/100 part of ''lira.''

Likewise, in [[Germany]] groschen remained a slang term for the 10 pfennig coin, thus a {{frac|10}} part both of the (West German) [[Deutsche Mark]] and the [[East German mark]]. The word has lost popularity with the introduction of the [[euro]], although it can still be heard on occasion, especially from older people.

The Ukrainian and Belarusian common word for money, ''{{lang|uk-Latn|hroshi}}'', derives from the word "grosh".

In [[Bulgaria]], the ''{{lang|bg-Latn|grosh}}'' ([[Cyrillic script|Cyrillic]]: {{lang|bg|грош}}) was used as a currency until the [[Bulgarian lev|lev]] was introduced in the 19th century.

In [[Mandatory Palestine|Palestine]] during the British Mandate, a ''grush'' was a coin with a hole in it, valued at {{frac|100}} part of [[Palestine pound|a pound]] (ten [[Mill (currency)|mils]]).  It was named after an Ottoman coin.  When the pound was replaced by the ''lira'' after [[Israel]]i statehood in 1948, the name was transferred to a coin (no longer with a hole) worth {{frac|100}} of a lira (ten perutot, later one agora). The name persisted for a while after the lira was replaced by the ''shekel'' in 1980 (one new agora, worth ten old agorot), but it gradually lost its standing as the name of a certain coin. Now it is slang for a very small value.<ref>Philologos (pseudonym), "[http://www.forward.com/articles/7191/ Money Hole]", ''The Forward'', November 28, 2003.</ref>
  
[[Austria]] introduced the groschen in 1924 as the subdivision of the {{lang|de|[[Austrian schilling|schilling]]}}. It was restored, along with the {{lang|de|schilling}}, in 1945 and continued in use until the introduction of the [[euro]] in 2002.
