Converting from Lithuanian Lita (LTL) to Lesotho Loti (LSL) | Currency

What is Lithuanian Lita (LTL)

The Lithuanian Lita (LTL) was the official currency of Lithuania from 1922 until it was replaced by the Euro (EUR) in 2015. The Litas was subdivided into 100 cents (ct), and its symbol was “Lt.” During its circulation, the LTL was known for its stability and was pegged to the Euro before the transition.

The LTL played a significant role in the economic development of Lithuania, which regained its independence from the Soviet Union in 1990. The currency symbolized national pride and economic growth as the country moved toward the European Union. Before the introduction of the Euro, LTL coins were available in various denominations, including 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cents, as well as 1, 2, 5 Litas. Banknotes were issued in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 Litas.

With the adoption of the Euro, the Lita is no longer in active circulation, but it remains a symbol of Lithuania’s rich currency history, reflecting the nation’s journey towards integration into the wider European economy.

What is Lesotho Loti (LSL)

The Lesotho Loti (LSL) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Lesotho, a landlocked country surrounded by South Africa. The Loti, introduced in 1980, is subdivided into 100 lisente (also known as cents). The currency symbol for the Loti is “M” and is sometimes simply referred to by its ISO code, LSL.

The Loti was introduced to replace the South African Rand (ZAR) at par and operates alongside the Rand, which is also used in Lesotho. This unique arrangement reflects Lesotho's economic ties to South Africa. The central bank of Lesotho, the Central Bank of Lesotho (CBL), issues the Loti. Loti coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 lisente, as well as 1, 2, and 5 Loti. Banknotes are available in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Loti.

The Loti plays an essential role in the daily lives of the people of Lesotho, facilitating trade, services, and economic stability. Its value is influenced directly by the performance of the South African economy due to the close economic relationship between the two nations.
