Converting from Papua New Guinea Kina (PGK) to Seychelles Rupee (SCR)

What is Papua New Guinea Kina (PGK)

The Papua New Guinea Kina (PGK) is the official currency of Papua New Guinea (PNG), an island nation located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Introduced in 1975, the Kina replaced the Australian Dollar at a rate of 1 to 1. The name "Kina" is derived from a type of shell that was traditionally used as money in the region.

The currency is subdivided into 100 toea, with 1 kina being the equivalent of 100 toea. The PGK is commonly represented by the symbol K. It is issued and regulated by the Bank of Papua New Guinea, which is responsible for the country’s monetary policy. The currency is available in both coins and banknotes, with denominations ranging from 2 to 100 kina for banknotes and 1 to 50 toea for coins.

The PGK is important not only for local transactions but also for international trade, especially since Papua New Guinea has a wealth of natural resources, including minerals and agricultural products. The value of the Kina can fluctuate based on various economic factors, including commodity prices and trade balances.

What is Seychelles Rupee (SCR)

The Seychelles Rupee (SCR) is the official currency of Seychelles, an archipelago nation located in the Indian Ocean. Introduced in 1983, it replaced the Seychellois pound. The Seychelles Rupee is abbreviated as SCR and is symbolized by "₨". Like the PGK, the SCR is also divided into 100 cents.

The currency is issued by the Central Bank of Seychelles and comes in both coin and banknote formats. Banknotes are available in various denominations, including 10, 25, 50, 100, and 500 rupees, while coin denominations include 1, 5, 10, and 25 cents, as well as 1 and 5 rupees.

Seychelles has a tourism-driven economy, and the value of the SCR can be influenced by factors such as international tourism trends, government policies, and exchange rates. The country’s reliance on imports means that its currency is also subject to fluctuations based on global economic conditions.
