Comorian Franc to Indonesian Rupiah

The Comorian franc (sign FC, code KMF) is the national currency of the Union of the Comoros located in Africa. Centimes are used as change for the Comorian franc. Every KMF has 100 centimes.

The Comorian franc was put in circulation in 1975 after the state had gained independence. The predecessor of the currency is the African franc. The rate of the national currency of Comoros is tied to fluctuations of euro (€). The currency does not float on its own.

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.
