There is no more valuable currency in the world. Is more expensive than the euro, dollar and pound

Poles traveling abroad often worry about an unfavorable conversion. By paying by card, for example in Great Britain, after returning, we can be unpleasantly surprised when it turns out that we spent much more than we intended. A pound, whose price usually oscillates around PLN 5, is not the most expensive currency in the world. You have to pay over PLN 13 for the banknote of one Kuwait Dinar.

Kuwait has the most expensive currency of the world

The Kuwait Dinar (KWD), introduced in 1961, is currently the most expensive known currency of the world. For one Dinar, Polish tourists arriving in Kuwait must pay over PLN 13 today. Although it is a lot (more than three times more than one euro), the record price was even higher. On October 28, 2022, the sales course of Kuwait Dinars amounted to PLN 15.58.

This does not mean that prices in Kuwait will be dizzying for the average tourist. Although this is not a cheap country, the inhabitants of large Polish cities such as Krakow or Warsaw should not feel a significant difference in expenses. For a meal in a cheap bar or fast food restaurants for one person we will pay around PLN 30, and for espresso coffee – PLN 15.

Bahrain and Oman will also surprise tourists

The economies of the Persian and Oman bay, based on powerful oil deposits, are characterized by stable and valuable currencies. You have to pay PLN 10.71 for one Dinar Bahrajński (BHD). Rial Oman is a bit cheaper – one OMR costs PLN 10.50. Prices in these countries can shock us, also positively. A Polish woman, who has been living in the Kingdom of Bahrain for nine years, admits that some services and products are really expensive. Going to a private hotel beach can cost up to PLN 400 for one day. However, tourists will save on fuel – in many bay countries it is cheaper than water in bottles.
