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.

Floating head

An individual that is only aware of what goes on in their own head. No body awareness to speak of and no concern for the rest of the world. They believe everything they think and don't care to understand anything or anyone else. They don't even understand themselves as they are only in their own head.

Mark is such a floating head. He just knocked that old lady right over to get to the bus and didn't even look to see what he hit.
