Indonesian Rupiah to Afghan afghani

The Indonesian Rupiah (symbol: Rp, code: IDR, number: 360) is the official currency of Indonesia. Informally Indonesians use the word "perak" ("silver" in Indonesian) in referring to rupiah. The rupiah was first introduced in the country in 1945.

However, the modern version of the currency, the so-called new rupiah is being issued since the redenomination in 1965. The exchange was made at the rate of 1000 old rupees per new one. The rupiah formally is divided into 100 sens, but physically coins denominated less than 1 Rp are discontinued. The banknotes depict national heroes, politicians, monuments, sceneries of the country, local people.

Afghani (sign ؋, code AFN) is the currency of Afghanistan which is not used for payment in other countries. One afghani equals 100 pul coins. Afghani has been issued since 1926.

Originally, coins made only out of silver were used on the territory of the Islamic state. First notes were printed in 1935. The Afghan rupee had been used hand in hand with afghani until 1978. Up until 2002, there had been different types of afghani used in the country and issued by different military and political organizations: “davlati” and “dostumi”, but the new leader, Hamid Karzai, reformed the currency leaving only one type. Banknotes had architectural monuments, key industries and infrastructure depicted on them.
