Out of 162 actively traded world currencies tracked against the US Dollar, the Indian Rupee (INR) currently ranks #101 by per-unit value, making it stronger than 38% of all currencies on this list. A lower rank means fewer units of that currency are needed to buy one US Dollar. Within Asia, INR ranks #28 of 50 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: INR currently trades at 94.4308 per US Dollar. Comparing that to all 162 tracked currencies — 100 of them trade at a lower rate (so are stronger than INR), and 61 trade at a higher rate (so are weaker). That places INR at rank #101 = 1 + 100 currencies stronger than it.
