Bhutanese Ngultrum to Ghanaian Cedi

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 Ghanaian cedi (sign GH₵, code GHS) is the currency used in circulation in Ghana. The currency is not used outside the country. The Ghanaian cedi uses pesewa as change.

One cedi equals 100 pesewas. In 1965, the cedi became the sole currency in the country. Before that, Ghana had changed its currency several times. Since the country was a British colony, its territory allowed pounds sterling and later on, it was replaced with the West African pound. Afterwards, the Ghanaian pound took its place. All notes, except 50 cedi, depict portraits of the state’s politicians. The 50-cedi banknote portrays the cocoa fruit.
