Converting from Nigerian Naira (NGN) to Neth Antilles Guilder (ANG)

What is Nigerian Naira (NGN)

The Nigerian Naira (NGN) is the official currency of Nigeria, which is the most populous country in Africa. The Naira was introduced in 1973, replacing the Nigerian pound at a rate of 2 Naira for every 1 pound. The currency's symbol is ₦, and it is subdivided into 100 kobo.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is responsible for issuing and regulating the Naira. The currency is used in various transactions, from everyday purchases to international trade. The Naira's value can fluctuate significantly due to various factors, including inflation, government policies, and economic performance. As of 2023, the exchange rate of the Naira has been affected by many challenges, including foreign exchange shortages and changing oil prices, as Nigeria's economy relies heavily on oil exports.

What is Neth Antilles Guilder (ANG)

The Neth Antilles Guilder (ANG) was the currency used in the former Netherlands Antilles, a group of islands in the Caribbean that includes Curaçao and Sint Maarten. The Guilder was introduced in 1940 to replace the Netherlands Antillean guilder at a fixed exchange rate. The symbol for the Guilder is ƒ, and it is subdivided into 100 cents.

The Central Bank of Curacao and Sint Maarten is responsible for issuing and regulating the Guilder. Although the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved in 2010, the Guilder continues to be used in Curaçao and Sint Maarten. Its value is often pegged to the US dollar, making conversions simpler for those who frequently travel or conduct business in the region.
