The Kuwaiti dinar — the world's most valuable currency
A single Kuwaiti dinar is worth more than any other national currency. Why.

The Kuwaiti dinar has been, for years, the most valuable monetary unit in the world — one dinar is worth more dollars, euros or pounds than any other currency.
Value isn't big numbers
It's interesting how it works opposite to inflation-hit currencies (where you need millions). Here, a strong unit reflects a small, oil-rich economy and strict monetary policy. A currency's value isn't read in the size of the number.
