why monetary value of one country differ from others?

I think that aswell as the above comments, it also depends on taxes. Take here for example (UK) our government taxes us on everything!

Simply, because the economically condition is different from one country to another. So is the political condition. Those two elements are playing the greatest role in making the currency rates varied.

Interest rates in that country relative to other country's interest rates.\nInterest rate expectations in that country and other countries.\nEconomic situation in that country.\nEconomic situation expectations in that country.\nPolitical stablility in that country.

that's a meaningless question.  money is an infinite resource because in and of itself it holds no value.  a dollar AS A PHYSICAL ITEM is worth less than a penny in terms of the materials that comprise the dollar.  It is only because the world agrees that a dollar holds some value relative to the economic position of the US overall that gives it its purchasing power.  No country in the world has a currency that is backed by a fixed amount of resource (such as gold).  The US used to be on a gold standard, where the number of dollars allowed to circulate was tied to gold reserves held by the US (at, say, Fort Knox).  But Nixon removed that linkage, and ever since we've had a free-floating dollar.  We print as many as we need keeping in mind that the more physical dollars there are in circulation, the greater the chances of inflation.

This is not exactly what you ask, but maybe it will help you.\nIt is the Big Mac Index. Is not a joke. I give you first the explanation:\n\nBurgernomics is based on the theory of purchasing-power parity, the notion that a dollar should buy the same amount in all countries. Thus in the long run, the exchange rate between two countries should move towards the rate that equalises the prices of an identical basket of goods and services in each country. Our "basket" is a McDonald's Big Mac, which is produced in about 120 countries. The Big Mac PPP (purchasing-power parity) is the exchange rate that would mean hamburgers cost the same in America as abroad. Comparing actual exchange rates with PPPs indicates whether a currency is under- or overvalued. \n\nThe Bic Mac in the USA is 3.10 U.S.$ and in Australia  2.44 U.S.$ (or 3.25 Aus.$), so you have a -21% in Australia.

The amount of money is constantly fluctuating.\n\nEach country regulates its own currency.  If you print too much, the value of your currency will decrease.  The value of the money is based on the country's productivity.  The USA has the biggest GNP at $11.75 trillion.  A country's currency will go up or down in value based on the actions in that country.  If it prints more money, its value will drop in comparison to other countries that are not printing out more money.

It's a little of both.\nThe cost of living has risen constantly over time. This is evidenced by the median prices of all goods. I'm pretty sure that I couldn't live on the $2.74/hr which my first job paid me!\nBut our dollar value has dropped, too.\nThere was a time when the U.S.Dollar was the highest standard in currency. However, with Europe uniting the Euro is now much stronger than the dollar. As other nations improve their standards of living, the price of importing their goods also goes up.\nAnd so, the circle continues.

Wow.  Um, it's not the amount of physical money we have, it's the *worth* of the physical money.  The gov't can't just print up an extra mil to cover the cost of stuff, that would cause the worth of the dollar to go down compared to other countries money.

The British economy is linked far more greatly to the rest of Europe than to North America, and the "pound" has been a stable currency for a long, long time (far longer than the US dollar). The British economy is strong in Europe, and because of that, their world value is strong.

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 several countries in the world that are growing much faster than other countries in the world.  Also there are  currencies that are much stronger than other currencies.  There is also the diversification issue to consider. A portfolio diversified among several different countries will generally outperform a single country portfolio with less overall risk. \n\nThere are mutual funds that specialize in particular country markets and there are mutual funds that are general world market funds. Those are the easiest methods to get exposure to the world markets.

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?

The site below has some interesting facts.  The developed world set a target of 0.7% of its gross national income to be given to the poor nations.  Almost every nation came up short.  Except for Luxembourg and the Scandinavian nations who are always good. We give alot in gross dollars but as a proportion of our income we are cheapskates.  Italy beats us.  Tiny little Belgium beats us.  Belgium!  What have they got to give away anyway?  Chocolate?

It is about twice as much. So a dollar in the US will be worth about two dollars there.

yes it has a great effect in macro economics dealing with exchange rates and interest rates and foreign trade. a weak or undervalued currency is better for manufacture of goods in your country and a strong currency is better if you import goods from other countries.

There are many types of foreign exchange.\n\nOne is a monetary exchange rate.  Another is an exchange of students.  There are also Foreign Stock exchanges and others.\n\nDid you have one in particular in mind?
