Converting from Ugandan Shilling (UGX) to Angolan Kwanza (AOA)

What is Ugandan Shilling (UGX)

The Ugandan Shilling (UGX) is the official currency of Uganda, a country located in East Africa. The shilling is subdivided into 100 cents. The currency symbol for the Ugandan Shilling is "USh." The Ugandan Shilling has been in use since 1987, replacing the previous currency, the East African shilling.

The exchange rate of the Ugandan Shilling against major world currencies varies, influenced by several factors, including inflation, interest rates, and economic stability. To keep up with the current value of UGX, it is vital to follow exchange rates regularly.

In Uganda, the shilling is primarily found in both paper and coin formats. Paper notes come in denominations of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, and 100,000 Ugandan shillings, while coins range from 50 to 1,000 shillings. The currency is accepted in various sectors, including retail, banking, and tourism.

What is Angolan Kwanza (AOA)

The Angolan Kwanza (AOA) is the official currency of Angola, a country situated in Southern Africa. The currency is represented by the symbol "Kz" and is divided into 100 cêntimos. The kwanza has undergone several changes since it was first introduced in 1977, especially due to hyperinflation and the eventual introduction of a new kwanza, known as the "novo kwanza," in 1999.

Much like the Ugandan Shilling, the value of the Angolan Kwanza fluctuates based on economic conditions. Factors that impact the AOA include the country's oil-dependent economy, inflation rates, and foreign exchange reserves. Keeping an eye on the AOA exchange rates is crucial for anyone involved in trade or travel between Angola and other countries.

The Angolan Kwanza is available in both banknotes and coins. The banknotes come in denominations of 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, and 100,000 kwanzas. Coins are available in smaller denominations, including 1, 5, 10, 50 cêntimos, and higher value coins as well.
