Currencies have their own symbols that distinguish one from another. In Forex, the price of a currency pair is simply the value of one currency against the value of another. A currency pair includes the "name" for both currencies, separated by a "/". The "name" is a three letter acronym. The first two letters, in most cases, identify the country, while the last letter denotes the unit of currency for that country.
For example,
USD = United States Dollar
GBP = Great Britain Pound
JPY = Japanese Yen
CAD = Canadian Dollar
CHF = Confederatio Helvetica (Latin for Swiss Confederation) Franc
NZD = New Zealand Dollar
AUD = Australian Dollar
NOK = Norwegian Krona
SEK = Swedish Krona
Since the European Euro has no specific country attached to it, it goes simply by the acronym EUR.
By combining one currency, EUR, with another USD, you create a currency pair EUR/USD.
