Converting from Botswana Pula (BWP) to Iraqi Dinar (IQD)

What is Botswana Pula (BWP)

The Botswana Pula (BWP) is the official currency of Botswana, a country located in Southern Africa. Introduced in 1976, the Pula replaced the South African Rand at par. The symbol for the Pula is “P” or “BWP” when denoting its currency in international transactions. The word “pula” means “rain” in Setswana, which is symbolic of the importance of rain in this arid region.

The currency is subdivided into 100 thebe, which means "a dime" in Setswana. Banknotes are available in several denominations, ranging from P10 to P200, while coins range from 1 thebe to 5 Pula. The Pula is known for its relatively stable value, largely due to the country's stable political climate and prudent monetary policies orchestrated by the Bank of Botswana.

Its symbol is “د.ع” which stands for "Dinar" in Arabic, and "IQD" is used in international financial markets.

The Iraqi Dinar is subdivided into 1,000 fils, although fils are no longer commonly used in everyday transactions. The Dinar is available in banknotes ranging from 1,000 IQD to 250,000 IQD. The value of the Dinar has been significantly impacted by Iraq's economic challenges, but it remains a critical currency in the region.
