Georgian Lari to Armenian dram

The Georgian lari (sign ₾, code GEL) is a currency used exclusively in Georgia. It can be exchanged to tetri. One lari contains 100 tetri.

The currency came into circulation in 1995, replacing the Georgian coupon. Before that, the country had used the Soviet ruble. Coins have a symbol of the sun and the name of the country in two languages – Georgian and English – imprinted on them. Notes are decorated with portraits of influential figures and cultural monuments.

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.
