Bhutanese Ngultrum to Armenian dram

The Bhutanese ngultrum (sign Nu, code BTN) serves as the national currency of the Kingdom in Eastern Asia – Bhutan. It is used along with the Indian rupee. Chhertum is used as change for the Bhutanese ngultrum.

Every BTN has 100 chhertum. The currency has been in circulation since 1974. Before that, only rupees had been used in the country. Occasionally, Bhutan issues commemorative banknotes with unique themes. At one point, there were printed banknotes with scenes from a royal wedding, with mythical angels, and with lotuses – traditional symbols of Asia.

The Armenian dram (sign ֏, code AMD) is the national currency of the Republic of Armenia, used within the borders of this Caucasian country. 1 dram could be previously subdivided into 100 lum. However, there are no coins or notes worth less than 10 dram used right now.

The currency has been issued in 1993 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Before that, the Soviet rubles had been in use. The country’s symbol on the notes was presented as iconic figures from the Armenian people, and as great architectural and art monuments as well. There is the national coat of arms and denomination decorated with a colorful design. The monetary unit’s name comes from the Greek drachma.
