Qatari Rial to Ghanaian Cedi

The Qatari riyal (sign QR, code QAR) is the official currency issued and accepted within the emirate-state of Qatar. The Qatari riyal is subdivided into dirhams. Every QAR has 100 dirhams.

The currency appeared in 1973 replacing the previous currency – the Qatar and Dubai riyal. This necessity to issue its own value was due to the fact that Dubai joined the United Arab Emirates. In 2017, the currency suffered from a large-scale inflation. However, the rate has stabilized itself.

The Ghanaian cedi (sign GH₵, code GHS) is the currency used in circulation in Ghana. The currency is not used outside the country. The Ghanaian cedi uses pesewa as change.

One cedi equals 100 pesewas. In 1965, the cedi became the sole currency in the country. Before that, Ghana had changed its currency several times. Since the country was a British colony, its territory allowed pounds sterling and later on, it was replaced with the West African pound. Afterwards, the Ghanaian pound took its place. All notes, except 50 cedi, depict portraits of the state’s politicians. The 50-cedi banknote portrays the cocoa fruit.
