Converting from Malawi Kwacha (MWK) to Guinea Franc (GNF)

What is Malawi Kwacha (MWK)

The Malawi Kwacha (MWK) is the official currency of Malawi, a country located in southeastern Africa. The kwacha was first introduced in 1971, replacing the Malawian pound at a rate of 1 kwacha to 2 pounds. The term "kwacha" itself means "dawn" in Chichewa, which symbolizes the start of a new era for the nation’s economy.

The kwacha is subdivided into 100 tambala. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 tambala, as well as 1 and 2 kwacha. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 kwacha.

The currency is managed by the Reserve Bank of Malawi, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the Malawi economy. The value of the kwacha can fluctuate due to various factors, including inflation, economic growth, and global market conditions.

For those looking to convert MWK into other currencies like the Guinea Franc, it's essential to understand the current exchange rates, as they can affect how much money you receive in return.

The Guinea Franc (GNF) is the official currency of Guinea, a country situated in West Africa. The GNF was introduced in 1985, replacing the previous currency, the Syli. The name "franc" is derived from the French currency, highlighting Guinea's colonial history with France.

The Guinea Franc is subdivided into 100 centimes, though the centime is rarely used in everyday transactions.
