Converting from Afghan Afghani (AFN) to Kenyan Shilling (KES)

What is Afghan Afghani (AFN)

The Afghan Afghani (AFN) is the official currency of Afghanistan. It was first introduced in 1925, replacing the Afghan rupee. The currency is subdivided into 100 puls, although the use of pul has diminished in everyday transactions. The Afghan Afghani is symbolized by "AFN," and its code is "AFN."

The afghani is issued in various denominations, including coins of 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 puls, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 afghanis. Banknotes are produced in higher denominations, such as 100, 500, 1,000, and 5,000 afghanis. The Central Bank of Afghanistan, known as Da Afghanistan Bank, manages the issuance and regulation of the currency.

The value of the Afghan Afghani can fluctuate significantly due to multiple factors, including political instability, inflation, and economic conditions within the country. Because of these factors, many Afghans might rely on other currencies, particularly the US dollar, for larger transactions and savings.

What is Kenyan Shilling (KES)

The Kenyan Shilling (KES) is the currency used by the Republic of Kenya. It is abbreviated as "KES" and is symbolically represented by "KSh." The Kenyan shilling was introduced in 1966, replacing the East African shilling at a rate of 1 KES to 20 East African shillings. The currency is divided into 100 cents, though coins in cents are less commonly used nowadays.

The Kenyan Shilling is available in both coins and banknotes. Coins come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 50 cents and 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 shillings. Banknotes are issued in 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 shilling denominations. The Central Bank of Kenya is the authority responsible for regulating and supplying the currency.

Like many other currencies, the value of the Kenyan shilling can also be influenced by various economic factors, such as trade balances, inflation rates, and shifts in political stability. The Kenyan economy is diverse, with agriculture, tourism, and technology being significant contributors.
