floating currency
a currency whose value is set by the currency markets; money whose exchange rate relative to other currencies is determined mainly or entirely by unrestricted trading in the currency. most currencies are dirty float|dirty floats, which means that the government issuing them attempts to manage their traded value in some way; or else hard peg|hard pegs, in which the value is tied to something specific.
when a currency is floating, then its value may rise because the county is running a trade surplus, or it is running a capital account surplus. floating currencies are not fiat money, although they are often confused for each other.
for most of the last half century, most money used around the world has been floating currency.
