Afghan afghani to Burmese Kyat

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 Burmese kyat (sign К, code MMK) is the national currency of Myanmar. The country was previously known as Burma. The currency is not used in other states.

Pya is used as change for the Burmese kyat. Every MMK has 100 pya. The currency was officially introduced in circulation in 1952. Before that, the Burmese rupee had been used in payment operations. At some point, fluctuations of the American dollar ($) defined the rate of the currency of Myanmar. Now, the currency can float itself.
