Abstract

A comprehensive introduction of different currencies in different regions within Asia are given. Based on such analysis the paper tries to divide Asian currencies into 5 hierarchies. At present, the Japanese Yen is the Top 1 currency in Asia, Chinese Renminbi stands on the second hierarchy, Hongkong Dollar, Thai Baht, Singapore Dollar， Malaysian Ringgit and South-Korean Won belongs to the third hierarchy, most other currencies in Asia, such and Indian Rupee and Vietnamese Dong etc., belongs to the fourth hierarchy, the most special currency status in Asia is Timor-Leste, she only issue fractional currency, thus it was divided into the fifth hierarchy. The hierarchy will be stable for some time. There are two main risks for the hierarchy, the first is that Japanese Yen is competing direct with RMB which might block the speed of RMB internationalization, the second is that the regional monetary cooperation might have some shocks to Asian monetary hierarchy.
