The value of trucks, Cars ,Houses, in the past is all relative
to the value of that countries currency, at that time.
Today we are tied to the value of the US Dollar.
Yesterday, in Europe, it was the Swiss Franc and various European currencys that were artificially forced to keep within a monetary Euro-snake.

The rates of Exchange today are totally artificial.

I would like to see a Country's Monetary system based upon
the value of its Exports
Its rather like an individual who thru hard work earns more,
and can afford a better life style for his family.

Only in this case, I would like to see the Gross National value
of a Countries Exports, Divided by the Number in its Population
This should give you the true worth a countries currencies
compared to other countrys.

I am not sure how this could be implemented, but it would show the true value of a currency in ones pocket, and therefore
easily allow one to calculate where Goverments, and you, should buy or sell your exports or items from.

For instance the highest rated (value) currency in the World,
should be:- Germany with a rating value of 18,136
Followed by:-Saudi Arabia,rating value of 13,700
Followed by:- Israel ,with rating value of 7,680
Followed by:- the UK, with a value of 7,511
Followed by the USA, with a rated value, 4,936
Then:- Russia, with a rated value of 3,706
Then:- China , with a rated value of 1514

And so on, These are just 7 countries picked out, due to my own interest, thats all nothing else..
It dos'nt matter if the country has massive Exports due to the sale of Oil...
Its Exports Divided by Population...which then shows you the strongest Currencies in order of strength

Below are the Export values ($) by Country

and here are Countries populations:-

So you can work out your own rankings.
Its easy to see now why Germany is the leader and almost supporting the Euro Common Market etc.

I would be interested to know whether anyone can find any value in this idea?
