Converting from Gibraltar Pound (GIP) to Belarusian New Ruble (BYN)

What is Gibraltar Pound (GIP)

The Gibraltar Pound (GIP) is the official currency of Gibraltar, a small British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. The GIP is subdivided into 100 pence. This currency was introduced in 1939, replacing the earlier Spanish peseta and the British pound that were both in circulation. The Gibraltar Pound is pegged to the British Pound Sterling (GBP) at par, meaning that 1 GIP is equivalent to 1 GBP.

Gibraltar Pound banknotes and coins are issued by the Government of Gibraltar, featuring various local symbols and figures, such as the famous Rock of Gibraltar. Due to its close ties with the UK, businesses and individuals in Gibraltar often use the British Pound as well, which can lead to some confusion for tourists and those unfamiliar with the currency system. However, the GIP is the legal tender in Gibraltar, and it is essential for transactions within the territory.

What is Belarusian New Ruble (BYN)

The Belarusian New Ruble (BYN) is the official currency of Belarus, a landlocked country located in Eastern Europe. The BYN was introduced in July 2016, replacing the previous currency, the Belarusian Ruble (BYR), at a rate of 1 BYN to 10,000 BYR. The new currency was introduced to help stabilize the economy and control hyperinflation that had plagued Belarus in the years prior.

The BYN is also subdivided into 100 kopecks. The Central Bank of the Republic of Belarus is responsible for issuing the currency and regulating its value. Belarusian banknotes and coins feature various national symbols, such as the coat of arms, famous historical figures, and significant landmarks. The BYN is used widely in everyday transactions within the country, and businesses usually accept other currencies, including the Russian Ruble (RUB) and the Euro (EUR), especially in border regions.
