Brazilian Real to Afghan afghani

The Brazilian real (symbol: R$, codes: BRL and 986) is the national currency of Brazil. Real is divided into 100 centavos. It is one of the youngest currencies in the world.

Contemporary Brazilian money was put into circulation in 1994, replacing the Cruzeiro real. Modern banknotes depict sculptures and representatives of Brazilian fauna. The second series of the real, developed in 2010, have been released nowadays. Beginning with 2009 the real exchange rate against the dollar has remained stable.

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.
