Out of 162 actively traded world currencies tracked against the US Dollar, the Mauritian Rupee (MUR) currently ranks #90 by per-unit value, making it stronger than 44% of all currencies on this list. A lower rank means fewer units of that currency are needed to buy one US Dollar. Within Africa, MUR ranks #17 of 44 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: MUR currently trades at 47.4200 per US Dollar. Comparing that to all 162 tracked currencies — 89 of them trade at a lower rate (so are stronger than MUR), and 72 trade at a higher rate (so are weaker). That places MUR at rank #90 = 1 + 89 currencies stronger than it.
