Converting from Bulgarian Lev (BGN) to Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN)

What is Bulgarian Lev (BGN)

The Bulgarian Lev (BGN) is the official currency of Bulgaria. It has a rich history that dates back to the 19th century when it was first introduced. The name "Lev" translates to "lion," symbolizing strength and courage. The currency code BGN is derived from the local name.

The Lev is subdivided into 100 stotinki. Banknotes are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 Leva, while coins are issued in values of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 stotinki. The Bulgarian National Bank is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency, ensuring its stability and reliability.

In recent years, Bulgaria has expressed interest in adopting the Euro, which would potentially affect the Lev's value and its exchange rates. However, as of now, the Lev remains firmly in place as the nation’s currency and is widely used in both daily transactions and for international trade.

What is Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN)

The Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN) is the currency of Bhutan, a small, landlocked country situated in the eastern Himalayas. The Ngultrum was introduced in 1974, replacing the Indian Rupee (INR) that was in use prior to that. The currency code BTN reflects the unique identity of the nation and its cultural heritage.

The Ngultrum is subdivided into 100 chetrums. Like the Lev, it comes in various denominations for both banknotes and coins. Banknotes are typically available in values of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 Ngultrum, while coins are issued in smaller amounts.

One distinct characteristic of the Ngultrum is its close link to the Indian Rupee, as both currencies are accepted in the country, which influences the exchange rates. The Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan regulates the currency, focusing on maintaining economic stability and ensuring a reliable monetary system for its citizens and visitors.
