Converting from East Caribbean Dollar (XCD) to Afghan Afghani (AFN)

What is East Caribbean Dollar (XCD)

The East Caribbean Dollar (XCD) is the official currency used by several countries and territories in the Eastern Caribbean. It was introduced in 1983 to create a more unified economic system among these regions. The currency is subdivided into 100 cents, similar to many other currencies around the world. The countries that use the East Caribbean Dollar include Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Dominica, Grenada, and several others, collectively known as the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU).

One of the unique aspects of the XCD is its pegged exchange rate. It is typically pegged to the US Dollar (USD) at a fixed rate of 1 XCD = 0.37 USD or 1 USD = 2.70 XCD. This stability makes the XCD a reliable currency for trade and economic activities within the region. The currency symbols are often denoted as "＄" or "EC＄" to distinguish it from other dollar-based currencies.

What is Afghan Afghani (AFN)

The Afghan Afghani (AFN) is the official currency of Afghanistan. It has undergone several changes and overhauls since its introduction in the 1920s. The Afghani is subdivided into 100 puls. The currency symbol is "AFN," but it is often represented by the symbol "؋."

Due to years of conflict and instability, the value of the Afghani has fluctuated significantly over the years. As of the latest reports, the government has made efforts to stabilize the currency to encourage both local and foreign trade. The exchange rate is influenced by various factors including economic conditions, political stability, and international relations.
