What is Armenian Dram (AMD)

The Armenian Dram (AMD) is the official currency of Armenia, a country located in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia. Introduced in 1993, following the country’s independence from the Soviet Union, the Dram has undergone several changes in its exchange rates and designs, reflecting Armenia's economic growth and stability over time.

The symbol for the Armenian Dram is "֏", and its ISO currency code is AMD. The currency is subdivided into 100 luma. The National Bank of Armenia is responsible for issuing and managing the Dram, and it plays a crucial role in the country's monetary policy.

The value of the AMD is influenced by various factors, including inflation, foreign investment, and trade balances. As a relatively small currency, exchange rates can be volatile, making it essential for travelers or businesses dealing in Armenian currency to keep an eye on current rates. Additionally, the Dram’s purchasing power varies compared to more dominant world currencies, such as the US Dollar or Euro.

What is CFA Franc - BEAC (XAF)

The CFA Franc - BEAC (XAF) is one of the two versions of the CFA Franc, the other being the CFA Franc - BCEAO (XOF). The BEAC version is used in the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC), which includes six countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea. The currency was introduced in 1945 and has since become a symbol of economic cooperation among the nations using it.

The symbol for the CFA Franc is "FCFA", and its ISO code is XAF. The currency is subdivided into 100 centimes. It is pegged to the Euro, which helps stabilize its value against major currencies and provides more predictable exchange rates for the countries using it.

The BEAC, or the Bank of Central African States, manages the XAF and is responsible for monetary policy and the issuance of currency. The value of the CFA Franc is influenced by various economic factors, including regional trade, commodity prices, and political stability within member countries.
