Converting from Paraguayan Guarani (PYG) to Swaziland Lilageni (SZL)

What is Paraguayan Guarani (PYG)

The Paraguayan Guarani (PYG) is the official currency of Paraguay, a landlocked country in South America. It is named after the Guarani people, an indigenous group in the region. The Guarani was first introduced in 1943, replacing the Paraguayan peso, and it has since undergone several reforms and changes in valuation.

The currency is abbreviated as PYG and is divided into 100 smaller units known as "centavos." Banknotes are available in various denominations, including 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, and 100,000 Guarani. Coins are also present, although they are used much less frequently than banknotes due to their low value.

The Guarani is known for its relatively low value compared to major global currencies, which can lead to large monetary numbers in everyday transactions. For example, a cup of coffee might cost around 6,000 PYG. The exchange rate of the Guarani fluctuates regularly, influenced by global economic factors, trade balances, and monetary policies within Paraguay.

What is Swaziland Lilageni (SZL)

The Swaziland Lilageni (SZL) is the official currency of Eswatini, previously known as Swaziland, a small landlocked country in Southern Africa. The Lilageni was introduced in 1974, replacing the South African Rand at par. The currency's name comes from the SiSwati word "lilageni," which means "little coins."

Denoted as SZL, the Lilageni is also divided into 100 cents. Banknotes come in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Lilageni, while coins include 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents. It is important to note that the Lilageni's value is closely tied to the South African Rand, as Eswatini shares economic ties and accepts both currencies.

The Lilageni's value can vary, but it has traditionally been more stable compared to smaller currencies around the world. Exchange rates for the Lilageni fluctuate due to factors such as economic performance, inflation rates, and changes in the foreign exchange market.
