Ethiopian Birr to Armenian dram

The Ethiopian birr (sign Br, code ETB) is a currency issued and accepted for payment on the territory of Ethiopia. The Ethiopian birr can be subdivided into smaller coins – cents. Every ETB has 100 cents.

The currency has been issued since 1976, replacing the Ethiopian dollar. The banknotes’ design embodies the character and uniqueness of the country. You can see portraits of local people, traditional farm animals, coffee plantations and people working in fields with oxen.

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.
