Swedish Krona to Afghan afghani

The Swedish Krona (symbol: kr, code: SEK, number 752) is the national currency introduced in 1873 as the currency of the Scandinavian Monetary Union. It has later on become the internal currency for Sweden. Although Sweden is a member of the EU, the payments are supposed to be done officially is in kronas.

So far, joining the Eurozone with further transition to the single currency system is not being considered. One krona is subdivided into 100 ore coins. Ore has been discontinued, remaining only part of the formal mathematical financial accounting.

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.
