The LKR has various denominations in both coins and banknotes. Coins typically come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, and 10 rupees, while banknotes are available in values of 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 rupees. The value of the Sri Lanka Rupee is influenced by multiple factors such as inflation rates, foreign exchange reserves, and overall economic conditions in the country.

Exchange rates for the Sri Lanka Rupee fluctuate regularly due to market demands and economic indicators. Hence, when converting LKR to other currencies, including the Bosnia and Herzegovina convertible mark (BAM), it is vital to check the latest rates for accurate conversions.

What is Bosnia and Herzegovina Convertible Mark (BAM)

The Bosnia and Herzegovina Convertible Mark, often abbreviated as BAM, serves as the official currency in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Introduced in 1998, the BAM replaced the Yugoslav dinar and is the sole legal tender in the country. The symbol used for the convertible mark is KM, which stands for "konvertibilna marka."

The convertible mark is divided into 100 fening (fennigs). If "convertible" suggests flexibility, it also denotes the currency's stability—BAM is pegged to the Euro at a rate of 1.95583 BAM for every 1 Euro. This fixed exchange rate strategy helps maintain the currency’s stability and aligns it closely to the Euro.

The BAM is available in both coins and banknotes of various denominations. Coins commonly come in 10, 20, and 50 fening, as well as 1, 2, and 5 marks. Banknotes range from 1 to 200 marks. Notably, the BAM has been designed to withstand inflation and to promote economic stability within the region.

When converting LKR to BAM, it is essential to stay updated with current exchange rates. To convert the currencies, you can use the formula:

Amount in BAM = Amount in LKR × Exchange Rate (LKR to BAM)
