What is Somali Shilling (SOS)

The Somali Shilling (SOS) is the official currency of Somalia. It has been in use since 1962, replacing the Somali rupee. The Somali Shilling is subdivided into 100 cents, although cent coins are rarely used today. Due to Somalia's long history of economic challenges, including civil strife and inflation, the Somali Shilling has experienced significant fluctuations in value over the years.

The currency symbol for the Somali Shilling is "S" or sometimes written as "SOS". While Somalia has multiple denominations, many transactions in everyday life are conducted using notes of higher value. In practice, the currency system can vary in different regions of the country, as the informal economy remains a significant part of daily transactions.

Due to the prevailing economic instability in Somalia, the exchange rate of the Somali Shilling against other currencies can change rapidly. For instance, as of recent data, $1 USD may equal around 570-600 SOS, although these rates fluctuate. It is advisable for anyone wishing to convert Somali Shillings to keep track of the latest exchange rates before making any transactions.

What is Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)

The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) is the official currency of Hong Kong and is represented by the symbol "$" or "HK$" to distinguish it from other currencies. The HKD is subdivided into 100 cents. Since the establishment of its currency system, the Hong Kong Dollar has been a free-floating currency, which means its exchange rate is determined by the market.

The Hong Kong Dollar has a strong reputation internationally and is considered one of the most traded currencies in the world. This is partly due to Hong Kong's status as a global financial hub. Exchange rates can fluctuate daily based on factors such as economic performance, interest rates, and market sentiment.

A unique feature of the Hong Kong Dollar is its peg to the US Dollar (USD). Since 1983, the HKD has been linked to the USD at a rate of approximately $7.8 HKD to $1 USD. This peg provides stability for the currency, ensuring that it retains its value within a certain range.
