Converting from Rwanda Franc (RWF) to Angolan Kwanza (AOA)

What is Rwanda Franc (RWF)

The Rwanda Franc (RWF) is the official currency of Rwanda, a small landlocked country located in East Africa. The currency symbol for the Rwanda Franc is "₣" or sometimes just "RWF." The RWF was first introduced in 1916 and has gone through several changes over the years, especially during the time Rwanda was under colonial rule.

The Rwandan economy primarily relies on agriculture, with coffee and tea being the major exports. Since the genocide in the 1990s, Rwanda has seen significant economic growth due to the government's efforts in stabilizing the economy and promoting various sectors like tourism, technology, and services. As the country continues to grow, RWF is becoming more significant in international trade, albeit still overshadowed by other regional currencies.

The RFW is typically issued in both coins and banknotes. Coins come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 500 francs, while banknotes are available in denominations of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 francs. The value of the RWF may fluctuate based on various factors, including inflation, government policies, and changes in global market dynamics.

What is Angolan Kwanza (AOA)

The Angolan Kwanza (AOA) is the official currency of Angola, a country located in southwestern Africa. The currency symbol is "Kz," and it was introduced in 1977, replacing the previous currency, the Angolan peso. The Kwanza has undergone several redenominations and adjustments, especially as Angola has experienced changes in its economy over the years.

Angola possesses vast natural resources, particularly oil and diamonds, which play a significant role in its economy. The Angolan economy has shown strong growth since the end of the civil war in 2002. The government has made efforts to diversify the country’s economic activities, which has, in turn, stabilized the Kwanza.

Just like the RWF, the AOA is available in both banknotes and coins. The coins come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 Kwanza, while banknotes are issued in 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 20,000 Kwanza denominations. The value of the Kwanza is influenced by several factors, including oil prices, inflation, and government fiscal policies.
