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 Malawian Kwacha
The Malawian Kwacha (MWK) is the official currency of Malawi, one of the world's least developed countries and most densely populated nations in Sub-Saharan Africa. Introduced in 1971 to replace the Malawian pound, the name "kwacha" means "dawn" in the Chichewa language, reflecting the aspiration of a new beginning at independence. The Reserve Bank of Malawi manages monetary policy. Malawi's economy is overwhelmingly agricultural, with tobacco as the dominant export crop.
