This map is somewhay misleading, some countries use currency without decimals, making their currency worth effectively less. Take for example the euro, a cent (a one hundredth of an euro) is cerntainly worth less than a robux while an euro isn't. The same comparison with the japanese yen (efectively a cent) shows that robux is more valuable. The map should be how many robux can you buy with the minimum wage for example.

Yeah this doesn’t make any sense. In fact by their logic it’s wrong. A robuck is worth more than a US penny.

I’m guessing they’re basing it on the smallest paper denomination, but that still doesn’t really make much sense to do.

It wouldn't be the smallest paper denomination, IIRC the Euro and Pound don't have single notes in circulation anymore.

The US does not use the penny as their currency, they use the dollar. A penny is a fraction of a dollar.

Because the EU doesn't use the cent, they use the Euro. A cent is a fraction of a euro.

The Yen is like that because they had hyperinflation for a while.

This comment really doesn't make sense.

The point of the comment is to point out the common misconception that the value of one [token of a currency] has anything to do with the strength of a currency. As described in the comment, the value of a singular token of a currency can be chosen arbitrarily.

This, of course, doesn't mean the map is factually incorrect.

Because this map uses the nominal currency, obviously.

Cents are not the nominal currency of Europe; euros are the nominal currency, and cents are a fraction of that nominal currency.
