Ghanaian Cedi to Zambian Kwacha

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 Zambian kwacha (sign Kč, code ZMW) is the national currency of the Republic of Zambia used as a currency only within this state. Ngwee is used as change for the currency. Every Zambian kwacha consists of 100 ngwee.

The national Zambian currency was introduced in 1968 after the elimination of the Zambian pound. In 2013, the currency was denominated. The country’s central bank exchanges the old money to the new one. The changes have not influenced the look of this African currency.
