Afghanis

The Afghani is the currency of Afghanistan. Its ISO 4217 code is AFN. The Afghani is divided into 100 puls. The current Afghani was introduced in 2002, replacing the previous Afghani which had been in circulation since 1925.

The Central Bank of Afghanistan is responsible for issuing and managing the Afghani. The currency has experienced significant fluctuations in value throughout its history, often influenced by political instability and economic conditions within the country. The design of the Afghani banknotes and coins typically features national symbols, historical figures, and significant landmarks of Afghanistan.

Coins were once minted in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 puls, as well as 1, 2, and 5 Afghanis. However, their circulation has diminished over time. Banknotes are currently in circulation in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 Afghanis.

The exchange rate of the Afghani against major international currencies like the US dollar and the Euro can vary. The economy of Afghanistan is largely driven by agriculture, with some mineral resources also contributing. The stability and value of the Afghani are closely tied to the overall economic health and governance of the nation.
