Ghanaian Cedi to Gibraltar Pound

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 Gibraltar pound (sign £, code GIP) is a sovereign currency of Gibraltar. The currency is also known as the livre. It is used along with the British pound sterling at par.

Pennies are used as change for the Gibraltar pound. One GIP has 100 pennies. The currency became the main payment unit in 1898. Every 2 years, the Gibraltar’s Mint manufactures a 2-pound coin with a new design. There are coins telling a story of a well-known myth – 12 labors of Heracles.
