Converting from Paraguayan Guarani (PYG) to Surinamese Dollar (SRD)

What is Paraguayan Guarani (PYG)

The Paraguayan Guarani (PYG) is the official currency of Paraguay, a landlocked country in South America. The Guarani has been in use since 1943, when it replaced the Paraguayan peso. It is named after the Guarani people, an indigenous group in the region. The currency symbol for the Guarani is "₲," and it is subdivided into 100 centavos.

The banknotes of the Paraguayan Guarani are issued in various denominations, including 2,000; 5,000; 10,000; 20,000; 50,000; and 100,000 guaraníes. In addition to the banknotes, coins are available in smaller denominations, such as 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 guaraníes. The Guarani is known for its low value compared to other currencies, with exchange rates typically exceeding thousands of guaraníes for a single US dollar.

The Paraguayan economy is heavily influenced by agriculture, with crops like soybeans, corn, and sugarcane being primary exports. Exchange rates for the Guarani fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including economic stability, inflation, and demand for Paraguayan goods in the global market.

What is Surinamese Dollar (SRD)

The Surinamese dollar (SRD) is the official currency of Suriname, a small country located on the northeastern coast of South America. It replaced the Dutch guilder in 2004 and is represented by the symbol "＄" or "SRD." The Surinamese dollar is divided into 100 cents.

The currency has several denominations available in both coins and banknotes. Banknotes are issued in values of 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 SRD, while coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents, along with 1, 2.5, and 5 SRD. Like many other currencies in the region, the Surinamese dollar has a relatively low value compared to the US dollar.

The economy of Suriname is largely dependent on mining, particularly of gold and bauxite, as well as agriculture and forestry. The exchange rate of the Surinamese dollar can be impacted by commodity prices and external debt, among other economic indicators.

Converting PYG to SRD

When converting Paraguayan Guarani to Surinamese dollars, it’s essential to know the current exchange rate. This rate can vary, so it’s a good idea to consult an up-to-date financial source or currency converter tool before making any transactions.

For example, if the exchange rate is given as

1 PYG = 0.00045 SRD

, converting 10,000 PYG to SRD would yield:

10,000 PYG × 0.00045 SRD/PYG = 4.5 SRD

This simple approach allows you to convert between the two currencies effectively. Always ensure you check the latest rates and trends when dealing with foreign currencies.
