Converting from Malagasy Ariary (MGA) to Samoa Tala (WST)

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 old Malagasy franc at a rate of 1 ariary for 5 francs. The currency is named after the Malagasy word "ariary," which historically referred to a unit of measurement for weight in gold.

The ariary is subdivided into 5 iraimbilanja, although the latter is rarely used in practice. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 ariary, while coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, and 50 ariary. The value of the ariary can fluctuate due to various factors, including inflation, economic conditions, and governmental policies. Over the years, the economy of Madagascar has faced challenges, including political instability and natural disasters, influencing the value and stability of the ariary.
