Yep, supply and demand, just like everything else. Money is a commodity.

Where things get interesting is when certain countries (read: China) peg their currency to another (read: USD).

You can have a country with central bank that controls the overnight lending rate, and a free floating currency - or vice versa, but you can't have both at the same time.
