Exchange rates tell us how much one country’s money (currency) is worth compared to another. For example, if you want to exchange Philippine pesos (PHP) for U.S. dollars (USD), today 1 dollar = 57.24 pesos. This means if you have ₱5,724, you’ll get $100 in return.
The value of money goes up and down every day because of many things, like trade, demand, and global events. That’s why banks and businesses keep track of these changes.
