Currency Macromaps


The Financial Times website offers a curious way of visualizing exchange rates. Inside the "Markets data" section (http://markets.ft.com/ft/markets/currencies.asp), there is a link called "Currency Macromaps". It is a world map showing the losses and gains of several currencies in comparison with a predefined one. For instance, in the screenshot above the currency to be compared was set to UK pound. Users can see more details on the last change by moving the mouse pointer over the countries. It's worth a try!
