Ghanaian Cedi to Kyrgyzstani Som

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 Kyrgyz som (sign с, code KGS) is the national currency of the Kyrgyz Republic. Tyins are coins used for the Kyrgyz som exchange. Every KGS has 100 tyins.

The currency was introduced in 1993 after the dissolution of the USSR. The Soviet ruble was used before. The Russian ruble was also in use for some time. Notes have iconic political figures, poets are writers, famous composers depicted on them. From time to time, the state issues commemorative notes with an original vertical design.
