The Euro (EUR)
The Euro was introduced in 1999 and today the Euro is the closest challenger to the US dollar of becoming the world’s top reserve currency. It has not happened yet even though the currency serves more than 300 million people in Europe including quite a few booming economic countries. The European Central Bank (ECB) is the financial authority governing the Euro.
The US Dollar (USD)
The US dollar is both the world's most traded currency and also the top reserve currency in the world. Most commodities, like gold, are almost exclusively traded in the US dollar. The Federal Reserve is the financial authority governing the US dollar.
The INR
The Indian Rupee traces its origins all the way back to the 6th century. India was after all one of the first countries in the world to issue currency. During the 1800s, the value of the INR went through a rather cataclysmic event, known as “the fall of the rupee”. The Rupee was historically a silver coin. During the 1800s however, massive amounts of silver were discovered in the US, as well as in several European colonies. The resulting silver boom drove down the value of the metal compared to gold, and with it, the value of the rupee. The Indian Rupee is backed by what’s called a developing mixed economy. By nominal GDP, this economy is the 7th largest in the world. Lately, the growth of the Indian economy has outpaced even that of China’s. Within the fold of the Indian economy, the service sector is the fastest growing one.
