Converting from Malagasy Ariary (MGA) to Gambian Dalasi (GMD)

What is Malagasy Ariary (MGA)

The Malagasy Ariary (MGA) is the official currency of Madagascar, a large island nation located off the southeastern coast of Africa. The ariary was introduced in 2005, replacing the Malagasy franc at a rate of 1 ariary for 5 francs. The currency is named after the Malgasy word for "money," which reflects the local culture and practices surrounding trade.

One ariary is made up of 5 iraimbilanja, the subunit of the currency, although the inventory of iraimbilanja is rarely used in everyday transactions. Coins commonly used include denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 ariary, along with banknotes of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 20,000 ariary.

The Malagasy economy primarily relies on agriculture, fishing, and tourism. Currency stability can be influenced by factors such as political climate, inflation, and global economic trends. For those looking to convert MGA to other currencies, accessing local banks or official exchange services is advisable to ensure fair rates and avoid scams.
