Converting from Aruba Florin (AWG) to Tanzanian Shilling (TZS)

What is Aruba Florin (AWG)

The Aruba Florin (AWG) is the official currency of Aruba, a small Caribbean island that is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The florin has been the currency of Aruba since 1986, replacing the Netherlands Antillean guilder (ANG) at a rate of 1:1. The symbol for the florin is often represented as "f." or "Afl."

The florin is divided into 100 cents. Banknotes are available in denominations of 100, 50, 20, 10, 5 florins, while coins come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents, as well as 1 and 5 florins. The Aruba Florin maintains a steady exchange rate, primarily due to the island's strong tourism sector, which brings in foreign currency.

The currency has a stable value and is widely accepted on the island. For visitors, it is worth noting that U.S. dollars are also commonly accepted in many places. However, if you are in Aruba, it might be advantageous to use the local currency for transactions, especially in smaller shops or markets.

What is Tanzanian Shilling (TZS)

The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is the official currency of Tanzania, a country located in East Africa. The shilling has been in use since 1966, replacing the East African shilling at a rate of 1:1. The currency code for the Tanzanian shilling is TZS, and it is represented with the symbol "TSh."

One Tanzanian shilling is subdivided into 100 cents. The economy of Tanzania relies heavily on agriculture, tourism, and natural resources, contributing to the value and exchange rates of the TZS. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 shillings, while coins come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 shillings.

The Tanzanian shilling can fluctuate in value based on various economic factors, including inflation and trade balances. When traveling to Tanzania, it is advisable to convert your currency to TZS, as local vendors and markets typically prefer payments in shillings.
