Top 10 Weakest Currencies In The World 2017 by Josiah1150(m): 2:41pm On Mar 25, 2017
1.IRANIAN RIAL

The Iranian Rial is the currency of Iran and it is the weakest currency in the world. 32,037
Iranian Rial is exchanged with 1 US dollar. This is an irony considering the fact that Iran is blessed with oil. But then, the Iran-Iraq war, Israeli attack as well as the sanctions (very important one is not being able to export oil) from the world superpower are the reason for making the Iranian currency weak.

You see! We are still fine in Nigeria not that I'm embracing mediocrity but we Nigerians are the ones frustrating our efforts. South Korea is better economic-wise than Nigeria yet they have a weak currency. $1 - 1117won.
That's leadership!
We need good leadership and reoriented people to be led.

It is not just how much a currency exchange against the dollar that makes a currency weak.

What of countries like Korea (or maybe Japan) that devalued currency deliberately because it was better for their economy.

Has the purchasing power of that currency within the country been evaluated?
What about trend analysis? How often does that currency fluctuate?
Also other macro and micro economic factors.

The difference here is that these countries import close to nothing so devaluing their currency has almost zero effect on them.
