Floating Rates – Most major currencies (USD, EUR, JPY) have rates determined by the foreign exchange (Forex) market based on supply and demand.

Fixed Rates – Some countries, like China, peg their currency to another, such as the USD, meaning the government controls the rate.

Pegged Rates – A mix of both, where a currency is tied to another but can fluctuate within a range.

Interest Rates – Higher interest rates attract foreign investments, increasing demand for the currency.

Inflation – Lower inflation strengthens a currency, while high inflation weakens it.

Economic Stability – Strong economies have stronger currencies since investors see them as safer.

Supply & Demand – If many people want a currency, its value rises; if fewer people want it, the value drops.

Geopolitical Events – Wars, elections, or crises can impact investor confidence and change rates.

Banks – Safe but may have fees.

Currency Exchange Offices – Often have better rates but may charge commissions.

ATMs – Convenient but may have high withdrawal fees.

Online Forex Platforms – Used for large trades or investments.

Compare rates at different exchange points.

Avoid airport kiosks—they usually have the worst rates.
