Converting from Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) to Uzbekistani Som (UZS)

What is Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD)

The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) is the official currency of Kuwait, a small but affluent country located in the Gulf region of the Middle East. Known for its significant oil reserves and strong economy, Kuwait has established the KWD as one of the highest-valued currencies in the world.

The Kuwaiti Dinar was first introduced in 1960, replacing the Kuwait rupee at a rate of 1 dinar = 1,000 rupees. The currency is subdivided into 1,000 fils, with both coins and banknotes being issued. The coins come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 fils, while banknotes are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 KWD. The KWD is known for its stability and is widely accepted in international markets, making it a popular choice for foreign investors.

What is Uzbekistani Som (UZS)

The Uzbekistani Som (UZS) is the currency of Uzbekistan, a country in Central Asia that gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The Som was introduced in 1994, replacing the Soviet ruble at an exchange rate of 1 som = 1,000 rubles.

The Uzbekistani Som is also subdivided into smaller units called teングе (though these are rarely used due to high inflation rates). The currency has both coins and banknotes, with coins typically issued in denominations of 1, 5, 10, and 50 som, while banknotes are available in denominations varying from 1,000 to 100,000 som. The UZS has faced significant inflation challenges and devaluation over the years, making it less stable in comparison to currencies like the KWD.
