Ghanaian Cedi to Albanian lek

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.

The Albanian lek (sign L, code ALL) is the currency used in Albania. It has been issued in 1947 after a monetary reform. Up until 1990, lek could be subdivided into 100 qindarka.

Today, the smallest unit is 1 lek. Before the appearance of lek, there had been several currencies from different European countries used in Albania. Banknotes have portraits of different famous figures, and architectural objects of various eras printed on them. The name Lek comes from contracting the name of Alexander the Great.
