Kenyan Shilling to Afghan afghani

The Kenyan shilling (sign KSh, code KES) is the official national currency of Kenya. The currency is not used in other countries. Cents are used as change for the Kenyan shilling.

One KES has 100 cents. The currency appeared in 1966. Before that, Kenya used the East African shilling. Today, only notes and coins issued after 2003 are officially accepted for payment. Outdated notes are being steadily taken out of the market for elimination.

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.
