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 Nicaraguan Cordoba
The Nicaraguan Cordoba (NIO) is the official currency of Nicaragua, named after Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba, the Spanish conquistador who founded several of Nicaragua's major colonial cities. The current gold cordoba was introduced in 1991 following a period of hyperinflation under the Nicaraguan Revolution government, replacing the old cordoba at a rate of 5 million to 1. The Banco Central de Nicaragua manages monetary policy with a crawling peg exchange rate that depreciates against the US Dollar at a controlled rate of approximately 3% per year.
