4. Latvian Lats (1 LVL= 1.65 USD)
Latvian Lats is the official currency in Latvia, a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe.
Haven’t heard of it? Maybe you’ve heard of its neighbors: Estonian people, Lithuanians, Russians and the people from Belarus and also a maritime neighbor called Sweden.
Latvian currency is in our list because it’s currently worth $1.97 and is one of the most expensive currencies in the world.
In a country about the size of West Virginia you wouldn’t think that Latvian Lats is such a powerful currency and it has entered the process to phase out the Lat in favor of the Euro.
It sure was expected to beat Euro and be the official currency around 2012, seems like Latvian Lats are not as powerful as they seem.
The people from Latvia will be happy to have you there, so what do you say, do you want to visit the beautiful country?
