As of 2025, the most expensive currency in the world — not only against the Uzbek soum but also most other currencies — is the:
Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD)
Why is this currency so expensive?
Kuwaiti dinar is worth approximately ~3.25 USD (exchange rates may vary slightly).
Kuwait’s economy is based on oil exports, and the country has a stable economic structure with large foreign currency reserves.
The currency’s high value is artificially maintained — it is tightly regulated by the central bank.
For comparison:
Bahraini Dinar (BHD) ≈ 2.65 USD
Omani Rial (OMR) ≈ 2.60 USD
Although the US Dollar, Euro, and British Pound are widely used globally, they are lower in nominal value compared to the Kuwaiti Dinar. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
