Converting from Ugandan Shilling (UGX) to Surinamese Dollar (SRD)

What is Ugandan Shilling (UGX)

The Ugandan Shilling (UGX) is the official currency of Uganda, a country located in East Africa. It is abbreviated as UGX and is symbolized by "Sh." The Ugandan Shilling has been in circulation since 1987, replacing the Ugandan pound at a rate of 1,000 shillings for each pound.

The Bank of Uganda is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency. The shilling is subdivided into 100 cents, though cents are rarely used in practice. The currency is available in various denominations, including banknotes of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, and 50,000 shillings, as well as coins of 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 shillings.

The exchange rate of the Ugandan Shilling can fluctuate based on various factors, including economic performance, inflation, and global market conditions. As a developing nation, Uganda's economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, tourism, and remittances from Ugandans living abroad.

What is Surinamese Dollar (SRD)

The Surinamese Dollar (SRD) is the official currency of Suriname, a small country located on the northeastern coast of South America. The currency is abbreviated as SRD and is often represented by the symbol "＄".

The Central Bank of Suriname oversees the issuance and regulation of the Surinamese Dollar. It is divided into 100 cents, though similar to the Ugandan Shilling, the use of cents in everyday transactions is not very common. The currency is available in banknotes of 2.50, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 SRD, along with coins of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents.

Exchange rates for the Surinamese Dollar can change due to inflation, international trade dynamics, and economic conditions. Suriname’s economy is characterized by significant exports in natural resources, particularly gold, oil, and agricultural products.
