Explanation:

Appreciation of currency means that there is increase  in the value of domestic currency terms of foreign currency. For example: if price of 1 dollar falls from Rs 80 to Rs 60. It implies that with 1 dollar less goods can be purchased from India as now only goods worth Rs 60 will be given.
