Ghanaian Cedi to Kenyan Shilling

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 Kenyan shilling (sign KSh, code KES) is the official national currency of Kenya. The currency is not used in other countries. Cents are used as change for the Kenyan shilling.

One KES has 100 cents. The currency appeared in 1966. Before that, Kenya used the East African shilling. Today, only notes and coins issued after 2003 are officially accepted for payment. Outdated notes are being steadily taken out of the market for elimination.
