Ghanaian Cedi to Jersey 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 Kersey pound (sign £, code JEP) is a currency used on the territory of the Jersey Island. It circulates along with the pound sterling. Pence (pennies) are used as change for the Jersey pound.

Every JEP has 100 pennies. The currency was introduced in 1837, taking place of the outdated French livre. The official languages of the island are English and French. Notes and coins demonstrate two denominations simultaneously. One of them correlates with the pound, the other one – with the livre.
