Just stumbled upon something wild about Pakistan's currency history. The dollar rate in 1947 in pakistan was locked at 3.31 PKR, and it stayed that way for years. I mean, literally unchanged from 1947 through the mid-1950s. That's wild to think about.

But then things got crazy. By the late 1970s, the rate had jumped to around 10 PKR per dollar. Fast forward to the 2000s and you're looking at 60+ PKR. The real shocker? In 2019, it hit 163 PKR, and by 2023 we're talking 286 PKR per dollar. That's an absolute collapse in value over 75 years.

What's insane is how the depreciation accelerated. The first 30 years? Barely moved. Then from the 80s onward, it was like watching a slow-motion crash. The dollar rate in pakistan just kept climbing faster and faster. 2022 was brutal with 240 PKR, and 2024 settled around 277 PKR.

This is basically a visual representation of currency devaluation and inflation over decades. Makes you wonder what the rupee will look like in another 20 years. Pretty sobering stuff when you see it all laid out like this.
