Rates show how much of each currency one euro buys, the way the ECB publishes them.

Frequently asked questions

All of those in the European Central Bank reference list, about thirty of them, each with today’s rate against the euro and how it has moved over the past thirty days. A smaller set has a page of its own, and those pages add a twelve-month chart, the 52-week high and low, and the change over the year.

Because every figure is the number of units that one euro buys, and units differ wildly in size. One euro buys about 0.85 of a pound but tens of thousands of Indonesian rupiah. The size of the number says nothing at all about the strength of a currency; only its change over time does, which is what the 30-day column shows.

Yes. The search box filters the table by code or by name as you type, so CHF and franc both find the same row. Currencies that have a page of their own are linked from the list; the rest appear with their rate but without a page, because a page with nothing to say on it helps nobody.
