It is ranked eighth globally.
In Asia and Indonesia, it’s easy to be a millionaire in the local currency with the exchange rate.

There are 160 different currencies in the world. Compared to the euro, they are more or less advantageous when traveling. Their value naturally fluctuates with the economic and social development of the country. During the 2008 crisis, for example, it was economically interesting for the French to travel to the United States. Nowadays, the dollar is almost equivalent to the euro. So, in which countries in the world can we be millionaires in the local currency thanks to the exchange rate?
