From the circulation, government print a certain amount of money and release this for circulation, some of it goes to daily use, some end up in foreign shores, other end up in banks, piggy bank, under the matress or become dormant [uncirculated].\n\nThose in circulation will eventually wear out, tear or totally lost like in fire.\n\nGovernment estimate the amount need to be print based on the money that are collected for destruction due to wear and tear and can no longer be used, and an estimate deducted from moeny supply that are in banks or in circulation.\n\nThis number are dymanics and not fix, so every time new money is to be mint, number cruching begin.

The factors that determine the value of a country's currency are\n(1) supply and\n(2) demand

No, it doesn't. On the contrary, the more dollars that come in the country, the better for maintaining the exchange rate low. It is now at 11.68 pesos per dollar. The high prices for goods is because most goods involving technology are imported. Remember an abundance of supply lowers prices.

There are so many factors that constitute to the value of pound sterling. These factors are the main determinants of the value of Pound sterling compared to other currencies.\n\nIf a currency is free-floating (like Pound sterling), its exchange rate is allowed to vary against that of other currencies and is determined by the market forces of supply and demand. Exchange rates for such currencies are likely to change almost constantly as quoted on financial markets, mainly by banks, around the world. A movable or adjustable peg system is a system of fixed exchange rates,but with a provision for the devaluation of a currency. For example, between 1994 and 2005, the Chinese yuan (CNY, ¥) was pegged to the United States dollar at ¥8.2768 to $1. The Chinese were not the only country to do this; from the end of World War II until 1970, Western European countries all maintained fixed exchange rates with the US dollar based on the Bretton Woods system. [2] The euro today can also be viewed as a fixed exchange rate system among participating European nations.\n\nA market based exchange rate will change whenever the values of either of the two component currencies change. A currency will tend to become more valuable whenever demand for it is greater than the available supply. It will become less valuable whenever demand is less than available supply (this does not mean people no longer want money, it just means they prefer holding their wealth in some other form, possibly another currency).\n\nIncreased demand for a currency is due to either an increased transaction demand for money, or an increased speculative demand for money. The transaction demand for money is highly correlated to the country's level of business activity, gross domestic product (GDP), and employment levels. The more people there are out of work, the less the public as a whole will spend on goods and services. Central banks typically have little difficulty adjusting the available money supply to accommodate changes in the demand for money due to business transactions.\n\nThe speculative demand for money is much harder for a central bank to accommodate but they try to do this by adjusting interest rates. An investor may choose to buy a currency if the return (that is the interest rate) is high enough. The higher a country's interest rates, the greater the demand for that currency. It has been argued that currency speculation can undermine real economic growth, in particular since large currency speculators may deliberately create downward pressure on a currency in order to force that central bank to sell their currency to keep it stable (once this happens, the speculator can buy the currency back from the bank at a lower price, close out their position, and thereby take a profit).\n\nIn choosing what type of asset to hold, people are also concerned that the asset will retain its value in the future. Most people will not be interested in a currency if they think it will devalue. A currency will tend to lose value, relative to other currencies, if the country's level of inflation is relatively higher, if the country's level of output is expected to decline, or if a country is troubled by political uncertainty. For example, when Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed his Government on February 24, 2004, the price of the ruble dropped. When China announced plans for its first manned space mission, synthetic futures on Chinese yuan jumped (since China's currency is officially pegged, synthetic markets have emerged that can behave as if the yuan was floating).\n\nLike the stock exchange, money can be made or lost on the foreign exchange market by investors and speculators buying and selling at the right times. Currencies can be traded at spot and foreign exchange options markets. The spot market represents current exchange rates, whereas options are derivatives of exchange rates.

In finance, the exchange rate (also known as the foreign-exchange rate, forex rate or FX rate) between two currencies specifies how much one currency is worth in terms of the other. For example an exchange rate of 120 Japanese yen (JPY, ¥) to the United States dollar (USD, $) means that JPY 120 is worth the same as USD 1. The foreign exchange market is one of the largest markets in the world. By some estimates, about USD 2 trillion worth of currency changes hands every day.\n\nThe spot exchange rate refers to the current exchange rate. The forward exchange rate refers to an exchange rate that is quoted and traded today but for delivery and payment on a specific future date.\n\nQuotations\nAn exchange rate quotation is given by stating the number of units of a price currency that can be bought in terms of 1 unit currency. For example, in a quotation that says the EUR-USD exchange rate is 1.2 USD per EUR, the price currency is USD and the unit currency is EUR.\n\nQuotes using a country's home currency as the price currency (e.g., £0.574744 = $1 in the UK) are known as direct quotation or price quotation (from that country's perspective) ([1]) and are used by most countries.\n\nQuotes using a country's home currency as the unit currency (e.g., $1.73990 = £1 in the UK) are known as indirect quotation or quantity quotation and are used in British newspapers and are also common in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.\n\ndirect quotation: Home Currency / Foreign Currency \nindirect quotation: Foreign Currency / Home Currency \nNote that, using direct quotation, if a unit currency is strengthening (i.e., appreciating, or becoming more valuable) then the exchange rate number increases. Conversely if the price currency is strengthening, the exchange rate number decreases and the unit currency is depreciating.\n\nWhen looking at a currency pair such as EUR/USD, many times the first component (EUR in this case) will be called the base currency. The second is called the counter currency.\n\nFree or pegged\nMain article: Exchange rate regime \nIf a currency is free-floating, its exchange rate is allowed to vary against that of other currencies and is determined by the market forces of supply and demand. Exchange rates for such currencies are likely to change almost constantly as quoted on financial markets, mainly by banks, around the world. If the value of the currency is "pegged" its value is maintained by the government in question at a fixed rate relative to the other currency. For example, in 1983 the Hong Kong dollar was linked to the United States dollar.\n\nNominal and real exchange rates\nThe nominal exchange rate is the rate at which an organization can trade the currency of one country for the currency of another. \nThe real exchange rate is an important concept in economics though difficult to grasp in reality. The real exchange rate is defined as rer=e(P/P*) where e is the exchange rate as number of foreign currency units per home currency unit and P is the price level of the home country and P* the foreign price level. \nUnfortunately, in real life there is not just one foreign currency and not just one price level -so the calculation of the real exchange rate gets more complex. Further, the above definition is based on purchasing power parity (PPP) which implies a constant real exchange rate which could not be verified empirically. PPP would imply that i.e. the real exchange rate was the rate at which an organization can trade goods and services of one country for those of another. For example, say the price of a good increases 10% in the UK, and there is also a 10% appreciation in the Japanese currency against the UK currency, the price of the good remains constant for someone in Japan despite increase in price for people in the UK. In cases where tariffs become an issue, this would be less the case. More recent approaches try to model the real exchange rate by a set of macroeconomic variables such as

Currency values between countries aren't controlled by any specific agency or anything, they're resultant of the economic factors in the various countries. A country can't just one day say 'hey, our currency's worth 10 times more than it was yesterday!' - it's a measure of how much money will by in the given countries versus production costs, etc. etc. - it isn't a controlled value.

You say the value of each of the currencies have gone up.  Against what currency?\n\nThere are 8 major benchmark currencies: USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, CAD, AUD, HKD \n\nUsually when USD goes up CAD goes down. So if you expect to gain on this, you would want USD value to fall.\n\nAs for the other two currencies, my question is why would you want to hold these?

it's based on demand/supply of the money. It can also be determined by government policy, like when euro first come out.

We have different currencies because countries wish to maintain control of their own finances. The state of the  national currency is an important part of a nation's sovereign power.\n\nHow it works is really simple in principle. Currency is just another commodity for which people have varying needs and for which they are willing to pay varying amounts. Absent currency controls the value of a dollar, euro, yen or whatever is determined by what amount of other currencies people are willing to pay for them.

Changes in interest rate will influence the ability of people to afford the product. (Higher rate, less disposable income, less buyers)\n\nExchange rate will influence the ability of foreign products to compete with the product. Your exchange rate strengthens, imports become cheaper/ more competitive.
