Currency Basket

What does it Mean? A selected group of currencies whose weighted average is used as a measure of the value or the amount of an obligation. A currency basket functions as a benchmark for regional currency movements - its composition and weighting depends on its purpose.
Investopedia Says... A currency basket is commonly used in contracts as a way of avoiding (or minimizing) the risk of currency fluctuations. The European Currency Unit (which was replaced by the euro) and the Asian Currency Unit are examples of currency baskets.
