In today’s world, currency has come to occupy a prominent position. But this was not the way it was earlier. Money in ancient times was made of gold and silver in the form of coins. These coins have its own real value because it was made of precious metals. Larger purchases were made of gold coins while the smaller purchases were silver coins. Banknotes have however replaced these coins. These banknotes do not have any natural inherent value like the gold coins. They are worthless. The value that these banknotes have is because these are legally tendered money by government order.

The currency exchange rates are market determined. There are fluctuations in exchange rates as the currency is free-floating and not fixed as was earlier. The rates are determined by the demand and supply in the currency market. Its rates will constantly vary and keep changing. The fixed exchange rates are when a currency is fixed to a certain rate with respect to another with the provision that the rates can be devalued. For instance, the Western European countries had fixed the exchange rates to the dollar since World War II to 1966. But later they switched over to market based exchange rate.
