What are the most valuable currencies in the world?

While the value of currencies keeps changing and the two most traded currencies in the world are the US Dollar and the Euro, the currency that tops the list of the most valuable currencies in the world is different.

Being the most traded currency ranks the dollar higher but it is not necessarily at the top. It is also important that a nation's currency is backed by oil and energy reserves and strict monetary policies.

According to List Wire, the following the are the top currencies in the world right now:

10. Canadian Dollar (CAD)

Since Canada has huge crude oil reserves and uranium supply, the value of its currency is usually dependent on the global price of oil. 

Conversion rate: 0.78 USD/0.74 EUR.

9. US Dollar (USD)

Being the most traded currency in the world, nearly 70% of it roams around the world outside the United States. 

Conversion rate: 0.95 EUR.

8. Swiss Franc (CHF)

Switzerland has very strict monetary policies which has helped its national currency the Swiss Franc increase its value. 

Conversion rate: 1.05 USD/1 EUR.

7. European Euro (EUR)

What strengthens the second-most traded currency in the world, Euro, is that it is the official currency for 19 European countries.
