Syrian Pound to Afghan afghani

The Syrian pound (sign £S, code SYP) circulates on the territory of Syria. It is also known as the Syrian lira. Small coins – piastres – are used as change.

One SYP equals 100 piastres. They are also known as qirsh. Technically, the coins exist, but are not used in circulation. The currency was issued in 1998, after the end of the civil war between Bosnia and Herzegovina. The rate of the national currency of this European country is tied to euro. The regime of the Military Council is used to regulate conversion.

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.
