Top 10 most expensive currencies in the world and their exchange rates to the US dollar 💵

Abstract generation in progress

I decided to take a look at which currencies are the coolest right now. Here's what I found for September 2025.

  1. Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) 🇰🇼

1 KWD ≈ 3.26 USD

Kuwaiti dinar on top. Oil is pumping. Politics are stable. Here is the result.

  1. Bahraini Dinar (BHD) 🇧🇭

1 BHD ≈ 2.65 USD

The Bahraini dinar is pegged to the dollar. The economy is diverse. It is strong.

  1. Omani Rial (OMR) 🇴🇲

1 OMR ≈ 2.60 USD

The Omani rial is right in the top three. It seems that the fixed exchange rate to the dollar helps a lot here.

  1. Jordanian Dinar (JOD) 🇯🇴

1 JOD ≈ 1.41 USD

The Jordanians are doing well. They don't rely heavily on oil, and the dinar is strong. An interesting case.

  1. British Pound Sterling (GBP) 🇬🇧

1 GBP ≈ 1.27 USD

The good old pound. Reserve currency. It holds.

  1. Cayman Dollar (KYD) 🇰🇾

1 KYD ≈ 1.20 USD

Offshore. Money. Island. That's the whole secret.

  1. Euro (EUR) 🇪🇺

1 EUR ≈ 1.09 USD

The Euro is the second most traded currency. Not too bad for a relatively young currency.

  1. Swiss Franc (CHF) 🇨🇭

1 CHF ≈ 1.11 USD

The franc has grown. $1.11. Swiss stability does not let down, as always.

  1. American Dollar (USD) 🇺🇸

1 USD = 1 USD

Dollar. It is equal to itself. Where would the global trades be without it — a staggering 88% of transactions!

  1. Canadian Dollar (CAD) 🇨🇦

1 CAD ≈ 0.75 USD

Canadians are closing the top ten. The nature is rich, and so is the currency.

💡 It's funny that a little one like Kuwait holds the most expensive currency in the world. Since 2025, no one can knock them off the pedestal. Power!

🌍 Actually, an expensive currency doesn't mean that everything is cheap for locals in the country. But yes, usually it's a sign that the economy is reliable. Not always, but often.
