When I learned about exchange rates from traveling young, I thought any country whose money went into the dollar was inferior, and any country where the dollar was worth less than their currency was superior. Hence the UK was superior, Canada was inferior, etc. I found out I was wrong in 12th grade but by then convinced a lot of people, including myself, that I knew what countries were superior or not.
