Iranian Rial just hit a new all-time low vs the dollar.
Not surprising given sanctions, regional instability, and capital flight—but still a stark reminder of what currency collapse looks like in real time.
When a currency loses this much value, ordinary people get crushed. Savings evaporate. Imports become unaffordable. Inflation spirals.
Meanwhile, the dollar keeps flexing. Strong dollar = pain for emerging markets with dollar-denominated debt or trade dependencies.
This is why currency stability matters. And why some countries are desperate to diversify away from dollar reliance—even if it's easier said than done.
