Converting from Ghanaian Cedi (GHS) to Seychelles Rupee (SCR)

What is Ghanaian Cedi (GHS)

The Ghanaian cedi, abbreviated as GHS, is the official currency of Ghana. It was introduced in July 2007, replacing the previous currency, the Ghanaian peso, at a rate of 10,000 old cedis to 1 new cedi. The currency is named after the cedi, which means "cowrie shell"—a traditional medium of exchange in the region. The GHS is subdivided into 100Gp (Ghanaian pesewas).

Coins of 1Gp, 5Gp, 10Gp, 20Gp, 50Gp, and 1 GHS are commonly used, along with banknotes in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 GHS. The Bank of Ghana is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency. The value of the Ghanaian cedi can fluctuate due to various economic factors, including inflation, trade balances, and political stability.

What is Seychelles Rupee (SCR)

The Seychelles Rupee, abbreviated as SCR, is the official currency of the Seychelles, an archipelago located in the Indian Ocean. The currency was first introduced in 1914, replacing the earlier currency unit, the Seychelles dollar. The rupee is further subdivided into 100 cents.

The SCR circulates in both coin and banknote forms, with coins available in denominations of 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents, as well as 1 and 5 rupees. Banknotes come in denominations of 10, 25, 50, 100, and 500 rupees. The Central Bank of Seychelles manages the issuance and regulation of the currency. The stability and strength of the Seychelles Rupee can be affected by tourism growth, international trade, and currency exchange rates.

Converting GHS to SCR

When looking to convert Ghanaian Cedis to Seychelles Rupees, it is important to consider the current exchange rate. Exchange rates fluctuate based on market conditions, demand and supply for each currency, and economic indicators from both countries.

For example, if the exchange rate is given as

1 GHS = x SCR

then to convert a specific amount in GHS to SCR, you would use the formula:

Amount in SCR = Amount in GHS × x

Let’s say the current rate is

1 GHS = 12 SCR

If you have 100 GHS, you would convert it as follows:

100 GHS × 12 = 1200 SCR
