A fixed exchange rate system is where a country's exchange rate regime under which the government or central bank ties the official exchange rate to Another Country's currency (or the price of gold). The purpose of a fixed exchange rate system is to maintain a country's currency value within a very narrow band. Also known as pegged exchange rate.
Fixed rates provide greater certainty for exporters and importers. This also helps the government maintain low inflation, which in the long run should keep interest rates down and stimulate increased trade and investment. however I'm not sure what a currency board system is....sorry.
A fixed exchange rate denotes a nominal exchange rate that is set firmly by the monetary authority with respect to a foreign currency or a basket of foreign currencies
Floating or Felxiable Exchange rate is determined by the supply and demand for currency and it self adjusting free tansaction.
A flexible exchange rate system allows for fluctuations in currency values on a day-to-day basis. Another kind of system would be a fixed exchange rate system.
Fixed Exhange-Rate System: currency system in which governments try to keep the values of their currencies constant against one another Flexible Exchange- Rate System: allows the exchange rate to be determined by supply and demand. With a flexible exchange- rate system, exchange rates need not fall into any prespecified range.
The rate of currency is usually fixed based on the stock exchange.
A fixed exchange rate system is one where the value of the exchange rate is fixed to another currency. This means that the government have to intervene in the foreign exchange market to maintain the fixed rate. The equilibrium exchange rate may be either above or below the fixed rate. In Figure 1 below, the equilibrium is above the fixed rate. There is a shortage of the national currency at the fixed rate. This would normally force the equilibrium exchange rate upwards, but the rate is fixed and so cannot be allowed to move. To keep the exchange rate at the fixed rate the government will need to intervene. They will need to sell their own currency from their foreign exchange reserves and buy overseas currencies instead. This has the effect of shifting the supply curve to S2 and as a result, their foreign currency holdings will rise.
A currency whose value is fixed either to the value of another currency, or to the value of gold, is called a "pegged currency"
A currency crisis occurs when a country can no longer support the price of its currency in foreign-exchange markets under a fixed-exchange-rate system.
In a pegged/fixed exchange rate system the value of currency is fixed in terms of gold or the value of other currency.This value is the parity value of the currency

Of currency exchange? Floating, as a free market should be.

A fixed exchange rate.Sometimes it is known as a currency peg.For example, the Danish Krone is fixed at € 1 = kr 7.46038

It is a combination of fixed and flexible exchange rate, thsi system hanges par values of currency by small amount at frequent specified intervals
