Gambian Dalasi to Bolivian boliviano

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 boliviano (sign Bs, code BOB) is the national currency of the country located is South America – Bolivia. Small coins called centavo are used as change for the Bolivian boliviano. One boliviano has 100 centavos.

The currency has first been issued in the 18th century, and was used between 1864 and 1963. Later, the country used peso, but due to inflation in 1987, the government came back to BOB once again. The rate of the modern boliviano is connected to the American dollar. After the 80s hyperinflation, the population was still using the old notes as change. There have been special seals put on them to reduce denomination.
