Afghan afghani to Georgian Lari

Afghani (sign ؋, code AFN) is the currency of Afghanistan which is not used for payment in other countries. One afghani equals 100 pul coins. Afghani has been issued since 1926.

Originally, coins made only out of silver were used on the territory of the Islamic state. First notes were printed in 1935. The Afghan rupee had been used hand in hand with afghani until 1978. Up until 2002, there had been different types of afghani used in the country and issued by different military and political organizations: “davlati” and “dostumi”, but the new leader, Hamid Karzai, reformed the currency leaving only one type. Banknotes had architectural monuments, key industries and infrastructure depicted on them.

The Georgian lari (sign ₾, code GEL) is a currency used exclusively in Georgia. It can be exchanged to tetri. One lari contains 100 tetri.

The currency came into circulation in 1995, replacing the Georgian coupon. Before that, the country had used the Soviet ruble. Coins have a symbol of the sun and the name of the country in two languages – Georgian and English – imprinted on them. Notes are decorated with portraits of influential figures and cultural monuments.
