Jordanian dinar
It is enough difficult to explain what reasons national currency Jordan ranks fourth. Despite not very well developed economic system, as well as the availability of budget deficit, Jordanian Dinar continues to be one of the fairly expensive monetary signs in the world.
Banknotes are distinguished by the original design. On one side depicts portraits of kings who rules in different periodsAnd on the other - the main architectural monuments related to a particular historical era.

Let's sum up
It should be understood that the currency rate depends on many economic factors. Every year it changes significantly, therefore the most expensive currency in the world after a while can take less than high positions. Everything will depend on the adoption economic decisions within states.
Despite the presence of many Asian currencies, money is best kept in stable units. For such such, for example, are American dollars and euros. They are the most liquid.

Have you ever heard of currency called Seborgan Luigino?
This currency belongs to the Virtual State of Seborg's Principality, which is located on the border of Italy and France. Luijino circulates mainly at the local level and is not considered a payment tool in any other country.
But what is interesting, the local course of Luijino is 1 SPL \u003d 6 USDThat could make this currency the most expensive in the world if it were officially recognized outside the principality.
Thus, despite the huge value of SPL, Liuijino can not take first place in our list of the most expensive currencies in the world.
High cost currency Sign of a strong economy?
It is known that currencies are not particularly successful states tend to reduce cost. However, when everything is in order with the economy, we can hardly see the opposite effect.
Indeed, in practice there were very few cases when the currency cost was constantly increased. The reasons may be different, but mostly, the state itself is not profitable to strengthen the currency, since The population begins to actively postpone the funds, instead of spending.
Thus, the high cost of the currency speaks only that inflation processes in the country are under control.
In the context of this article, it should also be mentioned about Japan and its one of the strongest economies in the world. At the same time, the cost of Japanese yen is very small, $ 1 \u003d ¥ 108.74.
Information about the greatest value of currencies is unlikely to be used by investors for making any investment solutions. In this case, it is better to consider the most stable currencies.

But despite this, this currency is little interested in the rest of the countries. This is due to the fact that it directly depends on oil. And this natural resource It may run into a certain time. Accordingly, the income of the exporting country will also fall.
Why does the price of currency fall
