Definition

This is the factor of a currency unit (To-currency) which another currency (From-currency) is translated into. The factors form the basis and are used for clear interpretation of listed foreign exchange rates.

Currency units are displayed in units of 1, 100 and 1000.

Examples

Currency ratios are displayed by means of the factors

Currency    1    100    1000

        Spanish Peseta

100        Swiss Francs
