A currency basket is a portfolio of selected currencies with different weightings. A currency basket is commonly used to minimize the risk of currency fluctuations.[1] An example of a currency basket is the European Currency Unit that was used by the European Community member states as the unit of account before being replaced by the euro.[2] Another example is the Special Drawing Rights of the International Monetary Fund.
