Australian Dollar to Gambian Dalasi

The Australian dollar (symbol: $ ,code: AUD, number 036) is used in Australia, as well as on the Islands of Norfolk, Christmas Island, the Cocos Islands, in Nauru, Tuvalu and Kiribati. It is subdivided into 100 cents. $/A$/AU$ and other abbreviations are used.

The currency was introduced in 1966 to replace the Australian pound. Traditionally, coins and some banknotes depict portraits of the queen Elizabeth II as well as representatives of the fauna of the continent and famous people.

The Gambian dalasi (sign D, GMD) is a currency used on the territory of Gambia. The Gambian dalasi can be exchanged to coins called bututs. Every GMD has 100 bututs.

The currency has been issued since 1971 replacing the old currency – the West African pound sterling. The name “dalasi” comes from the name of the West African 5-pound sterling note. It was called “dala” which translated to “dollar”. The currency floats, and its rate is not connected to specific currencies of other states.
