Converting from Guinea Franc (GNF) to Bosnia and Herzegovina Convertible Mark (BAM)

What is Guinea Franc (GNF)

The Guinea Franc (GNF) is the official currency of Guinea, a country located on the west coast of Africa. Introduced in 1959, the GNF replaced the former currency, the Guinea, at a rate of 1,000 GNF for every 1 Guinea. The currency is subdivided into subunits called 'santim,' although the santim is no longer in circulation. The GNF has been characterized by its high inflation rates and frequent devaluations, making it a less stable currency compared to many others around the world.

As of the latest data, coins in circulation include denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 GNF, while banknotes are available in denominations of 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 20,000 GNF. The Central Bank of the Republic of Guinea is responsible for issuing and managing the currency. Exchange rates can fluctuate significantly due to economic factors, so it's essential to check the current GNF to BAM conversion rate if you are looking to exchange currencies.
