The exchange rate is the value of one currency in terms of another currency. For example, an exchange rate of 2.05 $/£ means that one British pound costs $2.05. Current exchange rates can be found on many different sites, although the quoted rates usually pertain to large transactions that have taken place on international foreign exchange (FX) markets. An individual needing to buy small amount of currency at a bank or an exchange service will find the rates less favorable.
In general, the value of a currency increases when demand for the currency increases. For example, foreigners will increase their demand for a currency if their demand for a country's products increases.
