Out of 162 actively traded world currencies tracked against the US Dollar, the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) currently ranks #46 by per-unit value, making it stronger than 72% of all currencies on this list. A lower rank means fewer units of that currency are needed to buy one US Dollar. Within Asia, MYR ranks #16 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: MYR currently trades at 4.0445 per US Dollar. Comparing that to all 162 tracked currencies — 45 of them trade at a lower rate (so are stronger than MYR), and 116 trade at a higher rate (so are weaker). That places MYR at rank #46 = 1 + 45 currencies stronger than it.
