Falkland Island Pound to Ghanaian Cedi

The Falkland Islands pound (sign FK£, code FKP) is the national currency of a sovereign territory of Great Britain. It is used along with the pound sterling. Originally, FKP was subdivided into 20 shillings, and later into 100 pence.

Today, every FKP can be subdivided into 100 pence. Coins are also called pennies as a term of endearment. The currency appeared in 1899. Since then, the design of coins and banknotes has gone through several changes. At the moment, the rate of the Falkland Islands pound is tightly connected to fluctuations of the pound sterling.

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.
