Converting from Euro (EUR) to Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN)

What is Euro (EUR)

The Euro (EUR) is the official currency used by 19 of the 27 European Union member countries, collectively known as the Eurozone. Introduced in 1999 for electronic transactions and becoming physical cash in 2002, the Euro is one of the most significant currencies in the world. It aims to facilitate trade, travel, and economic stability among countries that use it.

One Euro is divided into 100 cents, allowing for straightforward calculations and transactions. The symbol for the Euro is € and it has several denominations: coins of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents, as well as €1 and €2 coins. Banknotes come in €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200, and €500.

The Euro also serves as a benchmark for many other currencies, playing a critical role in international trading and finance. Its exchange rate can fluctuate significantly based on economic indicators, political events, and other market dynamics.

What is Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN)

The Bhutan Ngultrum (BTN) is the official currency of Bhutan, a small landlocked country in South Asia nestled in the eastern Himalayas. The Ngultrum was introduced in 1974, primarily to create a national currency that would replace the Indian rupee, which was commonly used before then. The symbol for the Bhutan Ngultrum is Nu, and like the Euro, it is also divided into 100 chhertum.

Bhutan's currency is closely tied to the Indian rupee, and as a result, many businesses and banks in Bhutan accept the rupee. This relationship stabilizes the Ngultrum's value in international markets. The Bhutanese government maintains a fixed exchange rate for the Ngultrum against the Indian rupee at 1 BTN = 1 INR, contributing to economic stability within the country.

The currency has various denominations, from coins (including 1, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 50 chhertum) to banknotes in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 1000 Ngultrum.
