Gambian Dalasi to Bulgarian Lev

The Gambian dalasi (sign D, GMD) is a currency used on the territory of Gambia. The Gambian dalasi can be exchanged to coins called bututs. Every GMD has 100 bututs.

The currency has been issued since 1971 replacing the old currency – the West African pound sterling. The name “dalasi” comes from the name of the West African 5-pound sterling note. It was called “dala” which translated to “dollar”. The currency floats, and its rate is not connected to specific currencies of other states.

The Bulgarian lev (international symbol: BNG, code: 975) is the national currency of Bulgaria. The lev is divided into 100 stotinki. Since 2002 the lev has been pegged to the euro at an exchange rate of 1.

95 lev for 1 euro. Bulgaria has not become part of the Eurozone so far and a complete transition to the European single currency has not yet taken place. The image of a lion on Bulgarian currency appeared in the 13th century. The first currency, called the “lion,” emerged in Bulgaria in 1879 and was in circulation in the country until 1952. The contemporary version appeared in 1999 after redenomination at a rate of 1000: 1.
