Michael added: "The Lebanese pound has been under pressure against the US dollar for several years thanks to a depressed economy, high inflation and unemployment, a banking crisis and political unrest."

Next worst performing currency is the Iranian rial, currently worth $0.000024. Just $1 would buy 42,087 Iranian rials.

The currency emerged in the late 1700s and has been relatively static against the US Dollar for several years. Iran is a key exporter of oil and natural gas, but economic sanctions, largely from the US, have put huge pressure on its economy.

The report was compiled for those considering in investing in weaker economies, which can potentially make significant amounts if there is a rise in its value.

But, it is a risky tactic as they could remain low or even plummet further. The US dollar is the world’s most traded currency, but not the strongest, which is currently seen as the Kuwaiti dinar.

Third worst performing currency is the Vietnamese dong as each unit can only buy $0.000039. Just $1 could buy 25,442 Vietnamese dong.

It is a service led industry with electronics, energy and textiles key industries. It has been hit hard by rising interest rates in the US, restrictions on foreign exports and a slowdown in exports.

Another south-east Asian currency, the Laotian kip, is in at number four. Around since the 1950s, 1 kip is equivalent to $0.000046, so $1 is worth 21,705 kip.

Land-locked Laos relies on exports of copper, gold and timber but has slow economic growth, high inflation and rising debt.

Sierra Leone has had a currency called leone since 1964 and one unit of it gets $0.000048. So, $1 is the equivalent of 20,969 leone.

It's key exports are timber and minerals such as diamonds and gold plus industrial metals. High inflation and debt plus slow economic growth since the Ebola outbreak have kept it struggling.
