In the U.S. currant often means Zante currants, or dried Cornith grapes that are really just small raisins. Fresh red or black currants (pictured right) aren't widely available, but worth seeking out if they're grown near you.
The blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) is a woody shrub in the family Grossulariaceae grown for its piquant berries. It is native to temperate parts of central and northern Europe and northern Asia where it prefers damp fertile soils and is widely cultivated both commercially and domestically.
