Exchange Rates

One of the lessons in teaching exchange rates to students rests on the fundamental economic issue of "compared to what?" A currency is "stronger" or "weaker" compared to what? Is that strength or weakness a reflection of one country, the other country or the countries compared to each other? Consequently, this little limerick by Dr. Goose speaks volumes.

Dr. Goose,

My pleasure. Keep up the good work - anything that makes the Dismal Science a little less Dismal is okay by me.
