The exchange rate tells us how much money from another country is worth in pesos. If the number is high, like with the British Pound or Bahraini Dinar, it means that currency is very strong. If it’s low, like the Japanese Yen or Indonesian Rupiah, it means it takes a lot of that currency to equal 1 peso.
