Namibian Dollar to Afghan afghani

The Namibian dollar (sign N$, code NAD) is the national currency of Namibia, a South African republic. The currency is not accepted in other countries. Cents are small coins used as change for the Namibian dollar.

Every NAD has 100 cents. The currency has been issued since 1993. Its predecessor was the South African rand. A premise of creating its own currency was the fact that Namibia gained independence and organized its own national bank. These events date back to 1990.

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.
