Converting from Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN) to Brunei Dollar (BND)

What is Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN)

The Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN) is the official currency of Bhutan, a small Himalayan kingdom located between India and China. The Ngultrum is denoted by the symbol "Nu" and is subdivided into 100 chhertum. It was introduced in 1974 and is pegged to the Indian Rupee (INR), which means its value is closely tied to the value of the Indian currency.

The currency is issued by the Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan, which is responsible for managing the economy and maintaining stability in the financial system. The Ngultrum is used for all transactions within the country, and it is available in both paper notes and coins. Paper notes come in denominations of Nu 1, Nu 5, Nu 10, Nu 20, Nu 50, Nu 100, Nu 500, and Nu 1,000, while coins typically come in denominations of Nu 1, Nu 2, Nu 5, Nu 10, and smaller chhertum values.

The Bhutan Ngultrum is important not only for transactions within Bhutan but also impacts trade with India, as many businesses in Bhutan accept Indian Rupees as well. As a currency, it reflects the unique cultural and economic landscape of Bhutan, and travelers to the country will find it helpful to understand its value, especially when converting to other currencies like the Brunei Dollar.
