Brtish pound is probably number 1

 

[nonconformist]

Haha, you're joking? It devalued 30% twe weeks ago.

Now, I go to France, and what woulda cost me 70euros now costs me 100 euros

 

[Steph]

The British pound is still 1.1 €, so it's number 1...

Actually, I found 6 currency which are more valued than the pound and one which is between British pound and Euro, but I look it up, so it doesn't count.

So, that means that the € number 9. Find the 7 which are more valued than € (beside the £), and you have almost all of them!

And FYI, a € is worth 10,708,977.6926 Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWD)

 

[Mise]

I think the Cyprian Pound is worth more than the British Pound. IIRC the Maltan currency too. I'd imagine that other small islands that at some point were British outposts populate the top 10.
