Converting from Guyana Dollar (GYD) to Uruguayan New Peso (UYU)

What is Guyana Dollar (GYD)

The Guyana Dollar (GYD) is the official currency of Guyana, a country located on the northeastern coast of South America. The currency symbol for the Guyana Dollar is typically represented as GY＄. Introduced in 1839, the GYD has gone through various changes over the years, and its value fluctuates based on the country's economic conditions.

The Bank of Guyana is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency. The GYD is subdivided into 100 cents, with coins available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, 1 GY＄ and 5 GY＄. Banknotes are available in denominations of 20, 100, 500, and 1000 GY＄. Due to its relatively small economy, the GYD is not widely traded on the international market, making conversion rates with other currencies subject to volatility.

What is Uruguayan New Peso (UYU)

The Uruguayan New Peso (UYU) is the currency of Uruguay, a country situated in the southern part of South America between Brazil and Argentina. The currency is represented by the symbol ＄U or sometimes UYU. The Uruguayan New Peso replaced the old peso in 1993, primarily to combat inflation and stabilize the economy.

The Central Bank of Uruguay oversees the issuance and regulation of the UYU. Like the GYD, the UYU is subdivided into 100 centesimos. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 centésimos and 1, 2, 5, and 10 UYU. Banknotes come in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 UYU. The UYU is more stable compared to the GYD and is often used in international exchanges and trade.
