Have you ever wondered how money from different countries compares to each other? Like, how many pesos can you get if you trade one U.S. dollar? Or how much a British pound is worth compared to a Japanese yen? Let’s learn all about it!

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), which is the Philippines’ main bank, shared the latest information about how the Philippine peso stacks up against other important world currencies as of May 29, 2025.

Here are the top 15 currencies and how much they are worth compared to the Philippine peso and the U.S. dollar (which is like the world’s most popular money):

1. United States Dollar (USD)

2. Japanese Yen (JPY)

   • So, you need many yen to get one peso!

What Does This All Mean?

Different countries use different money, and some money is stronger or weaker compared to others. The numbers tell us how much Philippine peso you can get if you trade 1 unit of another country’s currency.

For example, the Bahrain dinar is very strong — 1 dinar can get you 147 pesos! But the Japanese yen is weaker, so you need many yen to get one peso.

Why do we care? Because when people travel, buy things from other countries, or send money, they need to know how much their money is worth compared to other currencies.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas also keeps track of the gold and silver prices, because precious metals are important for the economy too.

So, next time you hear about money from other countries, you’ll know why it matters and how strong or weak it is compared to our peso!
