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.
