Converting from Malagasy Ariary (MGA) to Aruba Florin (AWG)

What is Malagasy Ariary (MGA)

The Malagasy Ariary (MGA) is the official currency of Madagascar, an island nation located off the southeastern coast of Africa. Introduced in 2005, the Ariary replaced the former Malagasy franc at a conversion rate of 1 Ariary equals 5 Malagasy francs. The currency is subdivided into 5 and 10 Ariary coins, as well as banknotes in denominations of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, and 50,000 Ariary.

The symbol for the Ariary is "Ar" or "MGA," and it is commonly used in Madagascar for all types of transactions, from small purchases in local markets to larger transactions in businesses. The currency's resilience reflects both the stability of the economy and the efforts of the government and financial institutions to control inflation and boost financial confidence among citizens and visitors alike.

To understand the exchange value of the Malagasy Ariary, it's important to note that it is significantly less valuable than many major world currencies. Fluctuations in the exchange rate are influenced by various factors including economic conditions, tourism, and international trade.

What is Aruba Florin (AWG)

The Aruba Florin (AWG) is the official currency of Aruba, a beautiful Caribbean island that is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It has been in use since 1986, following the transition from the Netherlands Antillean Guilder. The symbol for the Florin is "ƒ" and is often denoted as AWG when contrasting with other currencies.

The Florin is subdivided into 100 cents, and both coins and banknotes are available in various denominations. Coins come in denominations of 5, 10, 25 cents, and 1, 5, and 10 Florins. Banknotes are available in denominations of 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 Florins.

Unlike the Malagasy Ariary, the Aruba Florin has a relatively stable value due to the strong tourism industry that underpins Aruba's economy. The exchange rate of the Florin is also pegged to the US dollar, which contributes to its stability and makes it easier for tourists to assess costs.

Converting MGA to AWG

When converting Malagasy Ariary to Aruba Florin, you will first need to find the current exchange rate, as it fluctuates regularly. Generally, the conversion can be calculated using the formula:

Amount in AWG = Amount in MGA × Exchange Rate (MGA to AWG)

For example, if the exchange rate is 1 MGA = 0.0015 AWG, to find out how much 10,000 MGA is in AWG, the calculation would be:

10,000 MGA × 0.0015 AWG/MGA = 15 AWG
