Converting from Bolivian Boliviano (BOB) to São Tomé and Príncipe Dobra (STN)

What is Bolivian Boliviano (BOB)

The Bolivian Boliviano (BOB) is the official currency of Bolivia, a landlocked country located in the heart of South America. The currency is subdivided into 100 centavos, and it uses the symbol "Bs" or "B." The Boliviano was first introduced in 1987, replacing the previous currency, which had suffered from hyperinflation. As of now, the Boliviano is issued and managed by the Central Bank of Bolivia.

The value of the Boliviano fluctuates based on various economic factors, including inflation, trade balances, and overall economic performance. In recent years, the government has made efforts to stabilize the currency by regulating the money supply and maintaining a fixed exchange rate against major currencies like the US dollar (USD). This makes the Boliviano an important currency in regional trade and tourism within Bolivia.

What is São Tomé and Príncipe Dobra (STN)

The São Tomé and Príncipe dobra (STN) is the official currency of São Tomé and Príncipe, an island nation located in the Gulf of Guinea off the western coast of Africa. The dobra has been the currency of the country since 1977, having replaced the previous currency, the São Tomé and Príncipe escudo. The symbol for the dobra is "Db" or "STN."

Like the Boliviano, the dobra is also subdivided into 100 centavos. The Central Bank of São Tomé and Príncipe oversees the issuance and regulation of the currency. The value of the STN is influenced by factors such as the country's small economy, trade relations, and foreign exchange reserves. There are often fluctuations in its value due to economic challenges and reliance on imports for many essentials.
