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 Ugandan Shilling
The Ugandan Shilling (UGX) has been the official currency of Uganda since 1987 - a reissued version replacing the old shilling following monetary reform. The Bank of Uganda manages monetary policy with a floating exchange rate and inflation-targeting framework. Uganda is an East African nation with a growing economy based on coffee (one of the world's top producers of the robusta variety), fisheries, tourism (mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest), minerals, and oil reserves discovered in the Albertine Rift.
