Out of 162 actively traded world currencies tracked against the US Dollar, the Icelandic Krona (ISK) currently ranks #108 by per-unit value, making it stronger than 33% of all currencies on this list. A lower rank means fewer units of that currency are needed to buy one US Dollar. Within Europe, ISK ranks #24 of 25 currencies tracked on this site for that continent.
ℹ️ This ranks currencies by face value per unit against the US Dollar — the same measure used in "world's strongest currencies" lists. It reflects historical denomination, not economic size, purchasing power or GDP.
📇 How this number is worked out: ISK currently trades at 125.6646 per US Dollar. Comparing that to all 162 tracked currencies — 107 of them trade at a lower rate (so are stronger than ISK), and 54 trade at a higher rate (so are weaker). That places ISK at rank #108 = 1 + 107 currencies stronger than it.
