I noticed something quite interesting – it turns out that the most expensive currency in the world is not the dollar or euro. The Kuwaiti dinar is the most valuable, followed by the Bahraini dinar and the Omani rial. All three are from the Persian Gulf, interesting, isn’t it?

And then come the pounds – the British, Gibraltar, and Cayman Islands dollars. The Swiss franc, euro, and US dollar are already the strong currencies we’re used to. It turns out that the most expensive currency doesn’t always mean the country is wealthy in the traditional sense.

But what’s really funny is passports. If you have a Singaporean, South Korean, or Japanese passport, you can practically travel everywhere without a visa. These are the top three in mobility.

Europeans are not far behind – Germans, Spaniards, Italians, French, Swedes, Dutch, Finns. Plus Austrians, Danes, Britons, Luxembourgers, Belgians, Swiss, Norwegians. Almost all of Europe is in the top.

Then come Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, Emiratis, Americans. And further, Hungarians, Poles, Czechs, Icelanders, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Estonians, Latvians, Slovenians, and Malaysians.

It turns out that the most expensive currency does not correlate with the most powerful passport. An interesting pattern emerges.
