Out of 162 actively traded world currencies tracked against the US Dollar, the Philippine Piso (PHP) currently ranks #94 by per-unit value, making it stronger than 42% of all currencies on this list. A lower rank means fewer units of that currency are needed to buy one US Dollar. Within Asia, PHP ranks #25 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: PHP currently trades at 61.2820 per US Dollar. Comparing that to all 162 tracked currencies — 93 of them trade at a lower rate (so are stronger than PHP), and 68 trade at a higher rate (so are weaker). That places PHP at rank #94 = 1 + 93 currencies stronger than it.
