Ghanaian Cedi to Malagasy Ariary

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 Malagasy ariary (sign Ar., code MGA) is the currency of Madagascar, but is also used for payment on the territory of Mauritania. The ariary is exchanged into iriambilanja.

One MGA equals 5 iriambilanja. The Malagasy ariary has been issued since 2005. The currency officially replaced the Malagasy franc. At the moment, the notes that have been issued since 2003 are mostly in circulation. Old series are being gradually taken out of circulation and replaced by the new one.
