Most people have been thinking that the highest currency in the world is the US Dollar, the British Pound, or Euro, e. t. c. Well, sorry to disappoint but there are at least a few currencies with a higher value than the ones on their minds.
As much as the USD is the most widely traded, it doesn’t appear in the middle of the list but almost at the end. Here is a list of the top 10 strongest currencies in the world:
1. Kuwaiti Dinar
The Kuwaiti Dinar is the currency of Kuwait. Just ahead of the Bahraini dinar, as of 2022, the Kuwaiti Dinar is the currency with the highest value per base unit. To replace the Gulf rupee and equal to the Indian rupee, the dinar was introduced in 1961. Located on the tip of the Persian Gulf, Kuwait’s wealth can be attributed to its heavy exports of oil to a global market. Its currency code is KWD. Kuwait is a tax-free country with a very low unemployment rate, making it rank 8th in the list of countries with the highest GDP per capita.
The currency was pegged to the US Dollar from 2003-2007 and the government has now decided to peg the Kuwait dinar to an unnamed currency basket. It is valued at 1 KWD to 3.26 USD and 1 KWD to 3.10 EUR.
2. Bahraini Dinar
The dinar is divided into 1000 files. Bahrain is a Persian Gulf island state and has a population of over 1 million people. Its largest source of income is petroleum export and global gas, just like Kuwait.
The Bahraini dinar is tied to the USD with a fixed exchange rate since 1987. It is the second highest currency in the world and is valued at 1 BHD to 2.65 USD and 1 BHD to 2.52 EUR
