[edit] =USD is free falling
USD is free falling. Pretty hard to say "exchange rate of 2003", when it may differ by more than 15%. -grin 07:22 21 May 2003 (UTC)

- Very true, I believe the current figures for 2002 and earlier are all start of year figures from CIA factbook. I will quote figures with a date from now on.
No reason not to do it more frequently than once per year (just change column headings) if energy permits though Pcb21 09:03 21 May 2003 (UTC)
Re: Hong Kong currency's fluctuations. Very limited, since the HK$ is pegged to the US$. olivier 05:11 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)
[edit] This article is quite poor!
- Comments like this are taken more seriously if try to fix the article yourself.
The currencies are too numerous
- The number of currencies around is hardly the fault of the article.
, and hard to draw any real conclusions.
- I don't really follow this. It's a table of data.
The data does not go back far enough (20 or 30 years would be interesting)
- The data was taken from the CIA for all years available. If more substantial data is available let me have it.
- Good luck finding that data. The data from various sources doesn't even add up (UN, World Bank, etc.)
- especially going back more than a few years. If someone could figure this out and get data going back to
- 1980 it would be quite a feat. I honestly don't think it will happen.
and the British pound is listed under F, rather than U for United Kingdom.
- I have fixed this, you could've done the same.
- PS. If you haven't already guessed, yes this data did take a very long time to get together.
- Please sign your edits.
I added a table of Argentine currencies monthly exchange rates from 1914 to 2004 on Economy of Argentina article. Alpertron 16:06, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Huh?
I stumbled across this page & was bewildered that it gives an exchange rate for the Eritrean Nafka against the dollar for 1986 -- several years before the Nafka existed! I looked thru the page history, in hope of learnign just what happened & if it can easily be fixed, but the years at the top of the table have been moved around & reassigned while the values in the fields have been left alone. This article's become a mess, & it badly needs cleaning up. -- llywrch 03:04, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] typo
There's a typo in the table. In the row with years, 1992 is typed between 1989 and 1991 - should probably be 1990 ;-)
Secondly, what does this table take into account? all adjusted for purchasing power parity and current prices or something else??
- Just to add to the problems, pretty much all of the Codes for the Currencies lead to TLA disambiguation pages, or just simply all red links and lead nowhere. AndyZ 13:25, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Data is way off
Using this as a reference, the data on this table is way off. I first noticed that the data for the Philippines is actually for the years 1997-2003 instead of 2000-2006 (as the article's table indicates). Then I looked at a few other currencies and realized the years for all of the currencies is screwed up. Coffee 05:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
