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.
About Kuwaiti Dinar
The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) consistently holds the title of the world's highest-valued currency unit by exchange rate - 1 Kuwaiti Dinar is currently worth approximately 3.25 US Dollars. Introduced in 1961 when Kuwait gained independence from Britain, it replaced the Gulf rupee. Kuwait is a small but immensely wealthy Gulf state with the world's sixth-largest proven oil reserves relative to its size, generating enormous per capita wealth. The Central Bank of Kuwait manages the dinar, which is pegged to an undisclosed basket of currencies.
