10 Most Expensive Currencies in The World in 2017

6. British Pound (GBP)

1 GBP = 1.20 USD

British Pound ranks 6th in our list of the most expensive currencies in the world in 2017. Big congrats to the pound sterling that managed to make the list of the world’s most expensive currencies even after the fiasco that is Brexit. That’s not to say that Britain leaving the European Union did not affect the pound at all, however; it dropped dramatically when lawmaker Boris Johnson joined the Brexit campaign, and then fell into a gigantic downward spiral when the results of the referendum came out. The pound immediately rose in value upon the U.K. court ruling on Brexit, so let’s just sum up by saying that the sterling is not the most reliable currency to use at the moment. Maybe this was the universe’s way of exacting revenge on those old-fashioned, faded pieces of paper they call money!
