How does the currency of a particular country fluctuate?

Depends on a variety of economic factors. Every country has its own reasons for fluctuations.

Tourists comprise a very small amount of the Foreign Exchange market.  Shifts in tourist patterns have much less effect on currency prices than demand by institutional traders.  Interest rates, fiscal deficits, trade deficits, and the strength of the economy that issues the currency tend to be the factors affect currency values most (for those currencies that are allowed to float)

It's a market. Countries, banks, companies buy and sell the currencies the need for their business and the law of supply and demand determines the exchange rates.\nThere are a few exceptions: a lot of currencies are not convertible outside the country where they are issued, and some currencies like the Chinese Yuan are pegged to the dollar, meaning that the exchange rate fluctuates only between small boundaries.

Exchange rates change daily (if not more often).  If you have a specific date, you might be able to find out, but not for a two year period.

Currencies are based on purchasing power, and interest rates in nations. If there are high interest rates that exsists in say the U.S. and low interest rates in Japan the exchange rates will move in the favor of the U.S.  If inflation is high in the U.S. compared to Kenya the U.S. dollar will fall to the shilling. To maintain equal purchasing or investing power between the two nations. This happens because in a free market world economy the prices of all similar goods and services will have very similar if not the same prices.

A good question (but perhaps better off in the economics area of the site). Every pound or euro note you hold has been printed and spent by the state (before you receive it from your bank or employer or client), and on the day it was printed, the total number of pound notes in the country changed slightly.\n\n  This is the issue we are discussing here: how much money can a country print before it causes disaster?\n\n    The answer is that generally a country may print or create a small amount of cash on top of the notes it takes out of circulation, but while deciding how much to print, it must take a very careful look at recent inflation and exchange rate statistics.\n\n   If a country prints too much money, both the inflation and the exchange rates will go haywire / will be adversely affected. This is because, as money becomes more abundant but the things you buy with money do not, the ratio of people wanting to buy stuff and people selling stuff changes. \n\n  Simply put, if a country doubles the amount of money in circulation, then market forces will automatically take down the value of the exchange rate at least by half, prices of all goods and services will go up (will double), and imports become harder to afford as it now takes at least twice as much money to but the same imported goods.\n\n   Why is this not the case for the USA (and the Eurozone)? It is sometimes and to an extent (for the above reasons), but:\n when much of the extra money that is added into circulation does not get spent and then spent again by the person who received it, and again ..., instead the money is stockpiled somewhere (by a person, a company or a government), then the above affect does not take place until the stockpiled money is spent again. \n\nAnd if the total amount of money in the world being stockpiled (most large stockpiles are in dollars and euros as there are used for international trade and to keep other currencies stable) goes up, so (to conclude in the correct jargon) non-inflationary increases in money supply are possible.

A countries rate of exchange can change for numerous reasons but one topical reason could be the threat of 'terror'. Currency fluctuation work on the supply & demand theory. If no one is demanding (wants it) the currency, then the price will drop. This in turn means that if there is anything negative floating around about a country, then it is very likely that fewer people will want their currency (business & toursism - busniess is the greaterst consumer of international currency). Think of a country as a business and this makes more sense - a business with a lot of bad press or with a level of uncertainty will attract fewer customers/sales.\n\nMany countries still use the US Dollar as the international media of exchange but increasingly this depandance is being reduced as traders/business/Coutries increase their use of the Euro. This is having a real effect on the US economy and a reason that Mr Bush isn't a huge fan of Europe and it's enlargement.

there are different types of exchange rates. there are the freely floating exchange rates which are determined by the forces of demand and supply (how people want it and the amount on the market) the fixed exchange rate which is fixed at a determined rate abd the managed exchange rate which is determined by the central bank of a country. they intervene and buy and sell the currency so that it doesn't go above or below a set price.

If you are an exporter, when the dollar declines against the currency of the country to which you are exporting, you will make more on your products.\n\nIf you are an importer, when the dollar declines you will pay more for what you import, making less money.\n\nAnd vice versa.\n\nConsider hedging the risk of currency fluctuations by using currency futures.

The differences between currencies come essentially two factors:\n- the strength of the countries economies\n- the rate of long and short term bonds in the country and the solidity of it´s finances.\n\nInvestors buy currencies not so much to invest in them, but to buy products, stocks and bonds from that country. The American dollar has the added advantage that oil is paid in dollars.

A country's central bank controls the currency.  If a country were to just print out more money (too much money) they will end up destabilizing the currency, meaning too much money chasing too few goods.  This will cause high inflation and will then cause more money to be printed and on and on.  Additionally world markets will see what is going on and will take their money out causing more damage to that country.  Just printing out more currency is not the answer, just ask some South American countries, they learned that the hard way.

There are spot exchange rates, what someone exchanges at the moment (these actually have little effect)\nThere are future exchange rates which is included in a contract my companies of different countries.  Such as British Company is selling an asset to American Company for 100,000 Pounds due in 30 days.  The equivalent price of the asset in dollars to the 100,000 pounds is the exchange rate.  These types of exchange rates typically make up the rate.\n\nThese two things make up the current exchange rate showing its intense variablity.\n\nTrying to make a model to determine exchange rates has led to many flaws using prices, real and nominal rates, and inflation in order to determine them.
