Is there a graphic or dataset way to campare the performance of the main currencies over the years?
I mean a graph that allows to compare many currencies on the same chart, and not two currencies at time

2Define "performance", please. That's not a word normally associated with currency.– keshlamDec 6, 2014 at 19:38

2Historical exchange rates and graph paper (or general-purpose graphing programs, or graph support in spreadsheet programs) are fairly easy to obtain... plot it yourself?– keshlamDec 6, 2014 at 19:52

As @keshlam mentioned, OANDA and many other websites offer daily histories of exchange rates for download. I recommend downloading the history of each exchange rate you care about versus a common currency (such as USD). Then use your favorite data analysis tool (R, Excel, ...) to plot them all on the same graph with date on the X axis and value-in-USD on the Y axis. (You might want to scale some of them first; KRW and JPY, for example, are worth so little in USD that you won't even be able to see their movements.)

If you don't want to pay for Excel. Open Office has a spread sheet product as well.– rhaskettDec 12, 2014 at 21:56

OANDA seems very good (+1), but is limited to 500 days and would like to analize last 10 years– AleDec 12, 2014 at 23:03

I Googled "currency rates historical" and got a page full of sites that all look like they might have what you need for free. Give them a shot.– dg99Dec 13, 2014 at 0:50
