The dollar is the currency that has lost most in value the past couple of years. Compared to our Swedish Krona it has lost half it's value since 2001.

I always dreamed of a currency that had really high value. You know, like the pound used to be, back when there were shillings and stuff as well.

Yes, the US dollar is quite rapidly becoming a joke.

The latvian latt (LVL) is higher than the pound.

They recently removed a large number of zero's from their currency as a part of that whole joining the EU thing they've got going on.

1 British Pound = 1.01823 Latvian Lats
1 Latvian Lats (LVL) = 0.98210 British Pound (GBP)

i think bahrain has the strongest currency.. probably because its so small and only like one rich dude lives there.

1.00 EUR Euro = 0.489771 BHD Bahrain Dinars

1 EUR = 0.489771 BHD
1 BHD = 2.04177 EUR

Yep, the Euros regularly whine about a strong euro, because their stuff gets more expensive for the american market, so that export goes down.

Depends where you look I guess.. but interesting, the latt has dropped like 1/5th of it's value in the past year or so.
