- Indirect quotation - The price of a national currency expressed in terms of one unit of a foreign currency
- Quoting Japanese yen at a rate of 110
- 1 USD = 110.00 JPY
- Direct quotation - The value of one unit of national currency in terms of the foreign currency
- Quoting USD at a rate of .009091
- 1 JPY = .009091 USD.
