Been looking at Pakistan's currency history and it's quite a story. For nearly 8 years after independence in 1947, the rupee stayed locked at 3.31 against the dollar. Then it started moving. By the mid-50s, it hit 3.91, and within a decade jumped to around 4.76 where it held steady for ages. What's wild is how things accelerated from the 70s onward. Around 2011, the dollar rate in Pakistan was sitting at 88.60 rupees, which seemed high at the time but now looks like ancient history. Fast forward to 2018 and you're looking at 139 rupees per dollar. The real shock came after 2020 when things went into overdrive. By 2022 it crossed 240, hit 286 in 2023. The rupee's been on quite the journey, basically losing value consistently over the decades. Pretty telling when you see how much more a single dollar buys now compared to just a few years back.
