Fixed currency

A fixed currency, sometimes (less commonly) called a pegged currency, is a currency that uses a fixed exchange rate as its exchange rate regime.

In the modern world, fixed currencies form a minority of the world's currencies. Prominent fixed currencies include the Chinese renminbi.

A fixed currency is contrasted with a floating currency.
