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 Sri Lankan Rupee
The Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) has been the official currency of Sri Lanka since 1872, with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) managing monetary policy since 1950. Sri Lanka experienced a severe economic crisis in 2022, running out of foreign exchange reserves, causing widespread fuel, medicine, and food shortages that led to political upheaval and the resignation of the president. An IMF bailout agreement in 2023 helped stabilise the situation. Sri Lanka's economy is based on tourism, garment exports, tea (a world-leading exporter), and remittances.
