Hey do you know there are more than 200 different currencies! But what i really wanna know is, why is the currency value different in every country? Who has the right or who decides on these currency values. A US Dollar (1 USD) is equal to Rs. 44.276 and an Indian Rupee (1 INR) is equal to $ 0.0226 Why such a vast difference? which is the Currency with the highest value?
