Afghani is the official currency of Afghanistan. The currency has a long history and was introduced in 1926. Then it looked like a coin made of 900 silver and contained 10 g of pure silver. At the ti...me of the appearance of the currency in the country, rupees were used, Indian, Kabul, Russian and Bukhara coins. Indian rupees were especially common. Afghanistans first own banknotes appeared only in 1935, when they were issued by the National Afghan Bank. In 1991, the banknotes of the period of the kingdom formally lost the force of legal tender, but in fact continued to be used in circulation. During the period of anarchy, warlords and other political movements used their own Afghanis. Until 2002, there were two types of Afghani in circulation: “pressure”, issued by the central government and “dostumi”, issued by order of General Dostum in the territory under his control. Outwardly, they did not differ, the difference is only at face value. The special currency of the Northern Alliance was also used. All banknotes since the April Revolution were printed in the USSR, then Russia.

History reference:
The Cedi is the currency of Ghana, introduced on July 19, 1965, issued by the Bank of Ghana. The name "cedi" comes from the Ashanti language and means "dear" in translation. In 1844 - 1913 Ghana, as ...well as a number of states on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, were a British colony, which was called the "Gold Coast". On the Gold Coast, the pound sterling was used as the currency. In 1913, a new currency, the West African pound, was introduced. In 1957, Ghana gained independence and in 1958 the government carried out a monetary reform, as a result of which the Ghana pound was put into circulation at a 1: 1 exchange rate with the West African pound.
