Exchange Rates

Exchange Rates When international trade occurs, one nation exchanges money, or currency, in return for another nation. Every nation is ultimately paid in its own currency.

Exchange Rates The relative values of different currencies are expressed as an exchange rate, the price of one nation’s currency in terms of another nation’s currency.

For example, the exchange rates for the U. S For example, the exchange rates for the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen tell you how many yen the Japanese must exchange for one dollar or what percentage of a dollar Americans must pay for one yen.

Exchange rates are always changing. The exchange rates between two currencies depends on how much demand there is for each country’s exports at any given time. When there is more demand for a nation’s products, people need more of that nation's currency to buy the products.

The table below shows the approximate exchange rates of the American dollar for the currency of several other nations on Oct. 2014. 1.00 0.07369 Mexican peso 0.0093 Japanese yen 1.27 Euro 0.89 Canadian dollar Value of foreign currency (in U.S. dollars)‏ Value of $1 U.S. (in foreign currency)‏
