How exchange rates are set
An exchange rate is simply the price of one currency measured in another, and it moves constantly with supply and demand in the global foreign-exchange market. Central-bank policy, inflation, trade balances and investor sentiment all nudge rates up and down. The figures here track those live market rates so your conversions reflect what money is actually worth right now.
Reading the history charts
Click any currency to open its history window. You can view a day, week, month, year, five years or ten years, and even overlay a second currency to compare how they have moved against each other. Because currencies sit at very different scales, comparisons are indexed to 100 at the start of the period, so you see relative performance at a glance.
Fiat versus cryptocurrency
Traditional (fiat) currencies like the US dollar or euro are issued by governments, while cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum run on decentralised networks and can be far more volatile. Exchange Coin shows both side by side so you can convert between them and watch how a crypto holding stacks up against everyday money.
What is Burgernomics?
Inspired by The Economist's famous Big Mac Index, our Burgernomics panel appears inside every currency window. It lists the local price of a Big Mac, a month of Netflix, a coffee and a cinema ticket, giving an intuitive feel for purchasing power beyond the raw exchange rate. For cryptocurrencies, it flips the question and shows how many Big Macs a single coin would buy.
