This is a gesture you want to be VERY careful to use when you are traveling!
In North America and Europe it means 'okay' and 'good.'
In Germany, Sardinia, Malta, Tunisia, Turkey, Greece, Russia, the Middle East and some parts of South American is a sexual insult that symbolize an orifice.
In Belgium, France and Tunisia it means 'zero.'
In Japan it means 'money' becasue it looks like a coin.
In South America if it is performed horizontally instead of vertically as shown above it means 'good,' 'okay,' 'perfection,' and/or everything is 'fine.
In Italy, if the shape is less round and a tad more like the politician's purse it could mean 'what are you talking about?' if pointed upward, and 'justice' if pointed downward.
So many meaning with one gesture!◦
