Malagasy Ariary to Indonesian Rupiah

The Malagasy ariary (sign Ar., code MGA) is the currency of Madagascar, but is also used for payment on the territory of Mauritania. The ariary is exchanged into iriambilanja.

One MGA equals 5 iriambilanja. The Malagasy ariary has been issued since 2005. The currency officially replaced the Malagasy franc. At the moment, the notes that have been issued since 2003 are mostly in circulation. Old series are being gradually taken out of circulation and replaced by the new one.

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.
