About
Presents historical international exchange rates for a variety of countries. The data offers insight into how currency values are determined by systems such as the managed floating exchange rate. This mechanism dictates that each currency’s worth is influenced by the economic activities of its governing body or central bank. This collection allows researchers and analysts to study the evolution of global currency determination methods, noting that the managed floating exchange rate has not always been the standard approach.
