The weakening of Iran's currency can be attributed to several factors. Following the Islamic revolution in 1979, Iran experienced a decline in foreign investor interest, which contributed to the devaluation of the currency. Additionally, Iran's nuclear program and the Iran-Iraq war have also played a role in destabilizing the country's currency. The economic sanctions imposed by Western countries have directly impacted Iran's currency, contributing to its weakness.

Vietnam also faces challenges with its currency, the Vietnamese Dong. In Vietnam, the exchange rate is 301 VND Vietnamese Dong for Rs 1, indicating another instance of a country with a weakening currency.
