What Is Currency?
A currency is a standardization of money in any form, in use or circulation as a medium of exchange, for example banknotes and coins. A more general definition is that a currency is a system of money in common use within a specific environment over time, especially for people in a nation state.
Types Of Currencies?
One can classify currencies into three monetary systems: fiat money, commodity money, and representative money, depending on what guarantees a currency’s value (the economy at large vs. the government’s physical metal reserves).
Calculation Of Currency?
Multiply the money you’ve budgeted by the exchange rate. The answer is how much money you’ll have after the exchange. If “a” is the money you have in one currency and “b” is the exchange rate, then “c” is how much money you’ll have after the exchange. So a * b = c, and a = c/b.
Marketing Of Currency?
The currency market (also known as the foreign exchange market) is a one-stop marketplace where different currencies can be bought and sold by various participants operating in diverse jurisdictions around the globe.
