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 Peruvian Sol
The Peruvian Sol (PEN) - formally the "nuevo sol" (new sun) - was introduced in 1991 as part of a sweeping economic stabilisation programme that ended hyperinflation, which had reached 7,000% annually under the previous inti currency. The name "sol" is the Spanish word for "sun" and reflects the ancient Inca sun deity Inti. The Banco Central de Reserva del Peru manages monetary policy with a managed float. Peru is one of South America's strongest economies and the world's second largest copper producer, as well as a major producer of gold, zinc, and silver.
