Nigerian Naira to Ukrainian Hryvnia

The Nigerian naira (sign ₦, code NGN) is the national currency of Nigeria, a state located in Africa. The currency does not circulate in other countries. The Nigerian naira can be subdivided into kobo.

Every NGN has 100 kobo. The currency has first been issued in 1973, replacing the Nigerian pound. In 2014, the Treasury of Nigeria issued a series of commemorative banknotes worth 100 naira. The notes have a new design, an additional level of protection, and a code that refers you to a site with the history of the country.

The Ukrainian hryvnia (sign грн, code UAH) serves as the national currency of Ukraine. It is not printed or accepted outside it. Kopiykas are used as change for the Ukrainian hryvnia.

Every UAH has 100 kopiykas. The currency has been in circulation since 1996. Prior to that, there was the karbovantes, and even earlier there was the Soviet ruble. The word “hryvnia” comes for the term “mane”. It defined coins with strings, resembling a bright mane of a golden horse. The word became widespread in old Rus. It was used as a weight measurement.
