Converting from Malawi Kwacha (MWK) to Czech Koruna (CZK)

What is Malawi Kwacha (MWK)

The Malawi Kwacha (MWK) is the official currency of Malawi, a country in southeastern Africa. The kwacha is subdivided into 100 tambala. The term "kwacha" originates from a word meaning "dawn" in the local language of Chichewa, symbolizing the new beginnings for the nation after gaining independence in 1964. The currency was introduced in 1971, replacing the Malawian pound at a rate of 1 kwacha for 2 pounds.

The kwacha has gone through several revaluations and changes over the years, reflecting the economic conditions of Malawi. As of October 2023, the exchange rates may fluctuate significantly due to various factors such as inflation, interest rates, and current economic events both locally and globally.

In Malawi, the kwacha is available in both coins and banknotes. The coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 tambala, as well as 1 and 2 kwacha coins. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 kwacha.

What is Czech Koruna (CZK)

The Czech Koruna (CZK) is the official currency of the Czech Republic, a country located in Central Europe. The koruna is subdivided into 100 haléřů. The name "koruna" means "crown" in Czech, and it has been the national currency since 1993, following the country's split from Slovakia.

The Czech koruna is known for its stability compared to many other currencies in the region. It was established after the Czechoslovak koruna was split into two separate currencies for the respective nations of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. While the country is a member of the European Union, it has opted not to adopt the euro, choosing to maintain its own currency due to a focus on national economic stability.

Similar to the kwacha, the koruna is available in both coins and banknotes. The banknotes come in denominations of 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 koruna, while coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 koruna.
