Converting from El Salvador Colon (SVC) to Sudanese Pound (SDG)

What is El Salvador Colon (SVC)

The El Salvador Colon (SVC) was the official currency of El Salvador until it was replaced by the United States Dollar (USD) in 2001. The name "Colon" is derived from Christopher Columbus, who is known as "Cristóbal Colón" in Spanish. Before its replacement, the Colon was subdivided into 100 centavos.

The Colon was used in various banknotes and coins, with denominations including 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 colones. Its symbol is often represented as "₡." The currency served as an important medium of exchange in El Salvador, reflecting the nation’s economic landscape.

The transition to the U.S. Dollar aimed to stabilize the economy, attract foreign investment, and eliminate the challenges associated with hyperinflation that plagued the nation during the late 20th century. Although the Colon is no longer in use, it is sometimes still referenced in economic discussions and historical contexts.

What is Sudanese Pound (SDG)

The Sudanese Pound (SDG) is the official currency of Sudan. Its current version was introduced in 2011, replacing the old Sudanese pound (SDP) at a rate of 1 SDG for every 1,000 SDP. The currency has been issued by the Central Bank of Sudan and is further subdivided into 100 piastres. The symbol for the Sudanese Pound is represented as "ج.س" in Arabic and sometimes "SDG" in English.

The Sudanese Pound has faced several challenges, including inflation and fluctuations in value due to regional conflicts and economic instability. However, it remains a vital part of Sudanese daily life, available in both banknotes and coins. The coins are typically available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 piastres, while banknotes come in higher denominations like 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 pounds.
