Converting from Saudi Arabian Riyal (SAR) to Sierra Leonean Leone (SLL)

What is Saudi Arabian Riyal (SAR)

The Saudi Arabian Riyal, represented by the code SAR, is the official currency of Saudi Arabia. The currency is divided into 100 halalas, and it has a rich history that reflects the economic evolution of the country. The symbol for the Riyal is ر.س.

The Riyal was pegged to the US dollar in 1986 at a rate of approximately 3.75 SAR to 1 USD. This peg helps stabilize the currency in a volatile global market. The value of the Riyal is significantly influenced by Saudi Arabia's substantial oil reserves, which form a major part of its economy. As one of the leading oil exporters, the country’s financial health is closely linked to global oil prices.

In daily transactions, the Riyal is commonly used for everyday purchases, savings, and investments in Saudi Arabia. Coins come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 halalas, while banknotes are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 500 Riyals. The currency is widely accepted across the Kingdom and is essential for conducting both local and international business.

What is Sierra Leonean Leone (SLL)

The Sierra Leonean Leone is the official currency of Sierra Leone and is represented by the code SLL. The Leone is divided into 100 cents and uses the symbol “Le”. Launched after the country gained independence in 1961, the Leone underwent multiple changes throughout its history, particularly due to periods of economic instability and civil unrest.

In 2010, the country introduced a new Leone (often referred to as SLL) after redenominating the previous Leone, with a conversion rate set at 1 new Leone for every 1,000 old Leones. Despite challenges, including inflation and fluctuating exchange rates, the Sierra Leonean economy has seen improvements in various sectors, such as agriculture, mining, and tourism, which positively affect the Leone's value.

The Leone is primarily used for daily transactions within Sierra Leone. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 20,000 Leones, while coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 500 cents.
