Converting from Sierra Leonean Leone (SLL) to Belarusian New Ruble (BYN)

What is Sierra Leonean Leone (SLL)

The Sierra Leonean Leone (SLL) is the official currency of Sierra Leone, a country located on the west coast of Africa. The currency is divided into 100 cents, with the symbol for the Leone often represented as "Le" or simply "SLL." The Leone was introduced in 1964, replacing the Sierra Leonean pound at an exchange rate of 2 leones for each pound. Over the years, the currency has undergone several changes, particularly due to high levels of inflation and economic instability.

SLL comes in both coins and banknotes, with coins in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents, and banknotes in values of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 leones. Inflation has made the Leone quite volatile, requiring frequent adjustments in exchange rates. As of October 2023, the SLL continues to be affected by various economic factors, including trade balance, governmental fiscal policy, and international market dynamics.

What is Belarusian New Ruble (BYN)

The Belarusian New Ruble (BYN) is the official currency of Belarus, a landlocked country in Eastern Europe. The ruble was first introduced in its current form in July 2016, replacing the previous ruble at an exchange rate of 10,000 old rubles for 1 new ruble. This transition was part of an effort to stabilize the economy and simplify transactions due to hyperinflation that affected the older version.

The BYN is divided into 100 kopecks, with common denominations for banknotes being 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 rubles. Coins are less commonly used in everyday transactions but are available in values of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 kopecks. The symbol for the Belarusian ruble is "Br" or "BYN." Similar to the Sierra Leonean Leone, the value of the BYN can fluctuate due to various economic conditions, including foreign trade, economic sanctions, and monetary policies from the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus.
