The answer

Different currencies must be combined to complete the . al-mal (money zakat) is paid in the currency the muzakki (person paying zakat) possesses, and it is permissible to pay its equivalent value at the time of payment, prioritizing what is most beneficial for the poor, and based on what it can be sold for. Gold prepared for making jewelry is subject to zakat if it reaches the nisab, and it is combined with money.
