The Guatemala Quetzal (GTQ) is the official currency of Guatemala. Named after the Quetzal bird, a symbol of freedom and beauty in Central America, the GTQ is an essential part of the Guatemalan economy. It was introduced in 1925, replacing the Guatemalan Peso at a rate of one Quetzal for one Peso.

The Quetzal is subdivided into 100 centavos and is represented by the symbol "Q" or "GTQ." The currency is available in both coins and banknotes. Coins come in various denominations, including 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 centavos, and 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Quetzals for banknotes.

The value of the GTQ is influenced by various factors, such as inflation rates, trade balances, and economic policies. As of October 2023, the GTQ is considered to be relatively stable, although it may experience fluctuations due to regional and global economic conditions.

Converting RON to GTQ

To convert RON to GTQ, it’s essential to look at the current exchange rate, which can vary daily. Exchange rates indicate how much one currency is worth in terms of another. The formula for this conversion can be expressed as:

Amount in GTQ = Amount in RON × Current Exchange Rate (RON → GTQ)

For instance, if the current exchange rate is ＄1 RON = 1.25 GTQ＄, converting 100 RON would yield:

Amount in GTQ = 100 × 1.25 = 125 GTQ

Converting currencies requires keeping an eye on exchange rates and considering possible fees that might apply during the process. Always check with reliable financial institutions or currency converters for the best rates available.
