Currencies trade in the foreign exchange market. Demand comes from foreigners buying a country's exports and assets; supply comes from its residents buying foreign goods and assets. Their intersection is the equilibrium exchange rate. More demand (e.g. a jump in exports) shifts demand right and the currency appreciates.
