While 'Währung' is undoubtedly the most common way to say 'currency', 'Valuta' is a word in German: http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Valuta
(Like in English) it's just an uncommon and specialist term that you won't encounter unless you work in that field.
It actually is, see e.g. Merriam-Webster (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/valuta) for a definition. That said, it's quite clearly not a common word, nor one in general use. I think Nerdator was saying that it occurs in expert terminology, not that it's a word people would be expected to know about.
