Jumps on the currency exchange occur hourly, which we, as ordinary people, can observe, for example, in the news. We present to you the world ranking of currencies for today against the dollar.

The most expensive currencies in the world

The pound sterling is the main currency of Great Britain. Initially, all English colonies also used pounds, only locally produced, and they differed in type. Today, the situation has not changed, and the former colonial countries of the United Kingdom still issue their own pounds sterling, which, however, are not accepted in Great Britain itself. It is worth noting that silver coins used to be called sterling, and banknotes appeared only at the end of the 17th century.

The Jordanian dinar is the official currency of the Kingdom of Jordan, located in the Middle East. The value of this currency in global economic relations is very difficult to explain even to the most experienced experts. Let's start with the fact that the economy of this country is extremely unstable, and the state itself is poorly provided with resources. However, most analysts agree that the value of the dinar is determined by the development of agriculture and its peg to the US dollar.

The value of this currency in the world is quite logical and understandable. Oman is a state on the Arabian Peninsula with very high rates of economic development. Due to the high cost of the currency, it is issued in denominations of a quarter or half of a rial. Experts also explain this by the strong peg to the US dollar. It is worth noting that the rial exchange rate mirrors the United States dollar exchange rate.

This currency earned its place in the ranking solely thanks to oil sales, as this is an economically formative factor in Bahrain. Bahrain is located in the Arabian Gulf and has a population of less than a million people. As for the interesting facts about this dinar, we only know that its exchange rate has not changed for more than 15 years, which makes it the most stable currency in the world.

Today, the Kuwaiti dinar is the most valuable currency in the world. As in the case of the Bahraini dinar, the rise in prices for the Kuwaiti currency is due to active exports of oil and petroleum products. In addition, oil sales are the main and only economic base of the country. It is worth noting that the Kuwaiti dinar has been in global circulation since 1996.

Monitoring exchange rates can be one of the components of your success in the financial sector. Many people make very good careers by making money specifically on currency exchange rate fluctuations. Tomorrow you could be one of them, and this is quite possible.

Currency has become an instrument that is converted not only when it is necessary to make payments in other countries. The national currency changes its value due to actual welfare, the balance of the gold and foreign exchange reserves, the state of the economy, and actual demand from the population and business. In addition, this is an exchange instrument whose quotes change intensively and speculatively.

Currency pairs are traded by exchange traders as individual instruments and futures contracts. When making payments in other countries, the bank rate for conversion is calculated in relation to the current rate, which is tied to the results of trading on the stock exchange.

At the beginning of 2019, there were some changes in the ranking of currencies. The basic cost calculation relative to the US dollar remains unchanged. The globalization of the foreign exchange market provides the opportunity to freely buy or sell almost any national currency.

The average exchange rate in this article will be indicated in relation to the US dollar and Russian ruble in the format: 1X = USD = RUB.

1. Kuwaiti dinar (KWD).

1 = $3.30 = 217.85 rub.

The Kuwaiti national currency is currently considered the most expensive and resistant to financial shocks.
Kuwait is a small country that has an insanely high level of prosperity. The value is based on huge oil reserves and long-term contracts for its supply. The country is the largest player in the oil market.

2. Bahraini dinar (BHD).

1 = $2.65 = 175.30 rub.

The Bahraini dinar is in second place.

Bahrain is located in the Persian Gulf and is an island state. The country's population barely exceeds one million citizens. As you can guess, the sale of oil is the main income for Bahrain. In addition, the stable exchange rate of the Bahraini dinar is explained by its 100% peg to the exchange rate of another currency - the US dollar. This has kept the balance in this couple unchanged for 14 years.

3. Omani rial (OMR).

1 = $2.60 = 171.44 rub.

Oman is located on the Arabian Peninsula. The favorable geographical location made it possible to develop the state’s economy and provide citizens with a stable and enviable level. The incredible purchasing power of the rial led the central bank to issue unique banknotes in denominations of 1⁄4 and 1⁄2 rials. A similar peg to the American currency makes the rate invariably stable.

4. Jordanian dinar (JOD).

1 = $1.41 = 93.10 rub.

It is extremely difficult to find an explanation for the high value and stability of this currency pair. The country does not have the characteristics of a developed economy and does not possess resources of strategic importance for the world economy. Despite this, the currency has confidently maintained a level in the 1.40 zone against the US dollar for more than a decade. This factor constantly keeps the dinar in the top ten rankings of world currencies.

5. British pound sterling (GBP).

1 = $1.30 = 86.40 rub.

Many consider the British pound to be the strongest currency in the world. But this opinion is wrong. Despite its former greatness, it only finishes the top five. Banks of the British colonies issue their own banknotes. They have visual differences from banknotes issued by the Bank of England.

Despite the fact that their rate is 1 to 1, in the main part of England such bills are accepted with great reluctance. Very often, tourists are surprised by the fact that there are several options for pounds of the same denomination that are offered to them. You just need to pay attention to the territory where they were published. For example, in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey and so on.

6. Cayman Islands dollar (KYD).

1 = $1.20 = 79.28 rub.

The Cayman Islands has been the world's tax haven for many years. In this small territory, mainly financial enterprises, investment and insurance companies are registered.

The high level of attractiveness for global financial flows allows the Cayman Islands currency rate to remain at 1.20 against the US dollar.

7. Euro (EUR).

1 = $1.14 = 75.56 rub.

After a turbulent period of exchange rate volatility, when the ratio reached 1.50 against the US dollar, the euro has strengthened in recent years. The stability and strength of the euro is due to the fact that it is united among European countries. Most of these countries have developed and stable economies.

Also, after the American dollar, the Euro is a reserve currency for the world banking system. The concentration level in bank reserves is 22.2%. US dollar concentration almost 3 times higher - 62.3%.

8. Swiss franc (CHF).

1 = $1.01 = 66.33 rub.

Switzerland is not only one of the richest countries in the world, but also extremely stable. The country's banking system is famous for its adherence to the principle of “banking secrecy”. In addition, brands in the precision and high-tech segment are globally renowned.

Switzerland is a neutral country. But this does not mean that it does not have an army. A country can only enter into a military conflict or become an ally if it has been attacked. But this is contrary to the financial interests of world leaders.

9. US dollar (USD).

1$ = 66.00 rub.

Maintaining its leadership among the world's economies, the US national currency has the status of “world reserve currency.” Thanks to this status, not only state central banks prefer the American dollar.

Ordinary citizens also consider this currency to be a reliable and proven tool for savings. You can pay with the US dollar in any country in the world or exchange it for local currency.

10. Canadian dollar (CAD).

1 = $0.75 = 49.74 rub.

The Canadian dollar is fifth largest reserve currency in the world. The country has a strong economy and is involved in the global financial system. The banking system is stable and has reliable reserves.

Among the currencies that have recently left this list are the Australian dollar (AUD) and the Libyan dinar (LYD).

There is no doubt that the American dollar is the most popular currency on planet Earth, but not the most expensive. The most expensive bitcoin today is a virtual currency that is accepted by more and more sellers of goods and services every day. 1 Bitcoin can be bought for 21,574.20 rubles. An unprecedented price for something that cannot be touched.

However, there is one “but” here - Bitcoin is not officially recognized as a currency. " Now Bitcoin can only be considered as a start-up, not a completed project“,” says Konstantin Grebennikov, advisor to the chairman of the board of Promregionbank. " The central bank of the state in whose territory the currency is in circulation is responsible for issuing money. Bitcoin is a virtual currency that can also be used as a means of payment, but only to pay for goods or services from sellers who are ready to accept them. Accordingly, Bitcoin cannot be called a currency.“- adds Ivan Farafonov, Deputy Head of the Treasury Department of the Bank of Settlements and Savings.

If we consider real money stored in people’s wallets, the leader in currency value is the Kuwaiti dinar, which costs 123.92 rubles. It is used by only about 3 million people living on the shores of the Persian Gulf. The state is rich in oil, which keeps the dinar exchange rate at a high level.

The second place among the most expensive currencies in the world is occupied by the Bahraini dinar, sold on the market at 92.97 rubles, and in third place is the Omani real, costing 90.96 rubles. The well-known British pound sterling occupies only 6th place in the ranking (59.44 rubles), the euro – 8th place (46.87 rubles), the American dollar and all in 15th position (34.81 rubles).

The vast majority of currencies can only be purchased in the country in which they are circulated. Therefore, if you are going to travel to one of the exotic countries, then take cash euros or dollars with you. " The most convenient and profitable way is to buy dollars and/or euros - in any country, even those isolated from the outside world such as the DPRK and Cuba, you can exchange them for local currency“, advises Ivan Farafonov.

Also, do not forget about the plastic card. " It is always better to have a bank card with you from one of the international payment systems with a cash reserve corresponding to your spending for two or three days. Ideally, for security purposes, a card for foreign travel should be separate from the main one and must have connected Internet banking, so that additional funds from the current account can be transferred to it at any time“, recommends Konstantin Grebennikov.

The popularity of the American dollar is very high, but in any case it is not the most expensive currency in the world. The money of some Asian countries, on whose territory there are huge oil reserves, is valued much higher. There are also banknotes from other parts of the world that are superior to the dollar in terms of value.

For information purposes, we suggest considering the ten most expensive currencies, which are valued as highly as possible throughout the globe. It should be understood that the cost of money and its liquidity are completely different concepts.

Kuwaiti dinar

Many could not even imagine that the most expensive currency in the world is the dinar, which is in use in Kuwait. There are huge oil deposits on the territory of this country, which is why Kuwait’s national money is very valuable today.

Statistics show that the number of millionaires in the state is in the proportion of 1:15. As for the total population, this figure reaches 3 million people. Kuwaiti funds took the leading position back in 1961, but a significant increase in price occurred in 2006-2007.

Interesting: rates are much higher than in many other countries in the world, while the influx of immigrants remains at a very high level.

Bahraini Dinar

The second place is occupied by the monetary unit of Bahrain, which is a small Arab state located on the island. The country's national currency was used as the main one in the emirate of Abu Dhabi from 1966 to 1973, until it was completely replaced by the dirham.

The Bahraini Dinar takes second place for the same reason. The country is small in size with a well-developed oil industry. Banknotes have a rather interesting design. They clearly depict cultural monuments with attractive designs.

Omani rial

The Omani currency is in third position and is the most expensive. This state is located in the southeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula and is small in size. The Omani rial replaced the Indian rupee in 1974 at a 1:1 ratio. It should be noted that he is not much inferior to the previous contender.

The currency unit of exchange is the baiza, which is equal to one thousandth of a rial. Banknotes have inscriptions and numbers. They are written in English on one side and in Arabic on the other.

For your information: not everyone is capable, but interesting ideas allow you to receive high income already in the first stages of their implementation with the right approach.

Jordanian dinar

It is quite difficult to explain why the national currency of Jordan ranks fourth. Despite the not very well developed economic system, as well as the presence of a budget deficit, the Jordanian dinar continues to remain one of the most expensive banknotes in the world.

The banknotes have an original design. On one side there are portraits of kings who reigned in different periods, and on the other - the main architectural monuments belonging to a particular historical era. The 1 dinar note depicts the rebel Arabs riding camels, carrying the national flag.

GBP

The fifth line is assigned to the ultra-stable currency, which since the end of the 17th century has been one of the leaders in the world market. This is pound sterling. It did not lose its former positions even during the period when the American dollar was able to absorb almost the entire foreign exchange market.

The pound sterling is one of the main currencies in the Forex market. Banks of some territorial units that are part of the UK issue banknotes with their own designs. This applies to financial institutions in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Euro

The sixth place is occupied by the official currency of the European Union, which is also recognized as the national currency of some other countries. However, these states are not able to influence the monetary activities of the European Central Bank. They also cannot send representatives to governing bodies.

Non-cash payments began to be made in euros from the beginning of 1999, and banknotes were introduced into circulation in 2002. The special graphic symbol was chosen through polls. From the very beginning, it was proposed to consider two main options out of ten possible ones.

On a note: There is evidence that it has increased somewhat recently. To verify this, you can look at the statistical data.

Cayman Islands dollar

Not the most expensive currency in the world, but one of the most significant ones is the Cayman Islands dollar. Money came into use in 1972 when the British Monetary Board was formed. International financial institutions are located on the islands.

First, four banknotes were issued for 1, 5, 10 and 25 dollars. However, in 1981, two more bills were added. 100 and 40 (now 50) dollars appeared in circulation. The company De La Rue is engaged in printing banknotes.

Swiss frank

In eighth place is the currency that is used for payments in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The franc first appeared in 1798, when the Helvetic Republic still existed. However, simultaneously with the liquidation of the independent territorial unit, the banknote was also withdrawn from circulation.

Swiss money has a very unusual design. The images on them are arranged not horizontally, but vertically. This immediately catches your eye when examining the bill. The banknotes display portraits of well-known Swiss figures.

U.S

It becomes clear that the US currency is not the most expensive currency in the world. It occupies only ninth position in the presented ranking. However, using the American dollar you can pay for various goods and services in almost any country on our planet.

US banknotes are legal tender in some other countries. There are approximate statistics according to which you can see that 80% of payments around the world are carried out in American dollars. The banknotes feature portraits of US presidents.

Advice: Today, Bitcoin, which is a cryptocurrency, is particularly popular. Its cost is very high. Can be used if necessary.

Libyan dinar

In tenth position is the Libyan dinar, introduced into official circulation in 1971. The banknotes are presented in several versions, issued in different years. Absolutely all banknotes on the front side have an iridescent stripe running from top to bottom.

Until 2002, all banknotes had a blue-gray color scheme. However, yellowish and greenish tints could be seen on some of them. As for the new samples, they are distinguished by bright colors. The text on both sides of the banknote is written in Arabic.

Let's sum it up

It should be understood that the exchange rate depends on many economic factors. Every year it changes significantly, so the most expensive currency in the world after some time may already occupy a lower position. Everything will depend on the correctness of economic decisions within states.

Although there are many Asian currencies, money is best kept in stable units. These, for example, include American dollars and euros. They are the most liquid.

Font A A

Each country has its own monetary unit, which is related in a certain way to the currencies of other countries. This rate is not constant and depends on many factors. Today there are over 180 types of national money. Let's determine what the most expensive currency in the world is as of April 2019, according to the Russian Central Bank.

Currency quotes depend on various factors that reflect the relationship between national and global politics and economics. These include:

• state of the economy;
• inflation rate;
• central bank interest rates;
• competitiveness of state goods on world markets;
• activities of financial organizations and speculative currency transactions;
• prices for energy resources and other raw materials.

The instability of the political situation in various powers, natural disasters, international and domestic military conflicts do not pass without leaving an impact on the value of currencies. Mass panic caused by negative fundamental news leads to sharp price hikes in the foreign exchange market, and then to their stabilization at the established level.

Despite the fact that this currency is currently one of the most popular in trading, it lost its position in the ranking of the most expensive and moved to last place in the TOP 10. It is a means of payment of the Commonwealth of Australia, used on the territory of the Norfolk Islands, Cocos Islands, Christmas Island, some states of the Pacific zone and, of course, Australia itself - a rich and stable country.

The currency has been in circulation since 1966.

The purchasing power of Australian citizens is higher than that of residents of the UK and Germany. Stability is based on free principles of doing business.

Famous watches, cheeses, chocolate and the notorious bank secrecy contribute to this in the best possible way. Franc code – CHF or SwF, symbol – ₣, exchange rate to ruble: 1 CHF = 68.05 rubles.

The official currency of the European Union has firmly strengthened its leading positions in non-cash payments in all member countries since 1999, and since 2002 in cash transactions. Its high cost is directly dependent on the fact that among the 17 countries in which the euro is the official means of payment, there are “locomotives” of the world economy.

The most stable currency in history since the end of the 17th century. is pound sterling. For several centuries it was the main world reserve currency. Since then, it has been distinguished by a stable high exchange rate, which was shaken by the absorption of the American dollar in the mid-20th century. the entire currency market. After the formation of the European Union, the pound significantly strengthened its position.

The official currency of the Middle Eastern Kingdom of Jordan is the Jordanian dinar. Even the most experienced economic experts find it difficult to explain its high valuations. The state does not have valuable natural resources, its economy is unstable, and has a budget deficit. It is controlled by Israel, but since the middle of the last century its currency has been one of the strongest.

Analysts agree that the peg to the US dollar and the development of agriculture are the determining factors that influence the value of the dinar

Code – JOD, symbol – د.إ, JD, exchange rate to ruble: 1 JOD = 92.29 rubles.

This currency ranks third in the ranking of the most expensive. Its value is explained by the strategic position of the Sultanate of Oman, a state located in Western Asia, as well as the rapid pace of economic development and the high standard of living of the population.
