About Afghan Afghani
The Afghan Afghani (AFN) is the official currency of Afghanistan, reintroduced in 2002 after decades of conflict and monetary instability. The new afghani replaced the old afghani at a rate of 1,000 to 1, successfully reducing the denominations in circulation. Da Afghanistan Bank is the central bank responsible for its issuance. The afghani has experienced significant volatility in recent years due to political instability and international sanctions. The currency is divided into 100 pul, though pul coins are rarely used in practice due to their negligible value.
About Kyrgyzstani Som
The Kyrgyzstani Som (KGS) has been the official currency of Kyrgyzstan since 1993, replacing the Soviet ruble following independence. The word "som" means "pure" in Kyrgyz and several other Turkic languages, historically referring to pure silver or gold. The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic manages monetary policy with a managed float regime. Kyrgyzstan is a Central Asian country with a landlocked mountain economy dependent on gold mining (the Kumtor mine is one of Central Asia's largest), remittances from workers in Russia and Kazakhstan, agriculture, and some manufacturing.
