Over Ghanese cedi
De Ghanese cedi is de munteenheid van Ghana. Eén cedi is 100 pesewa's, maar door inflatie werd deze onderverdeling niet meer gebruikt. In het Akan betekent cedi "kleine schelp".
Per 1 juli 2007 is de cedi geredenomineerd. De waarde van 10.000 oude cedi's komt overeen met de waarde van één nieuwe cedi.
De volgende munten worden gebruikt: 1/2, 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 25 en 50 pesewa's en 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 en 500 cedi. Het papiergeld is beschikbaar in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 en 50 cedi.
De cedi werd in 1965 ingevoerd en verving toen het Britse pond sterling in de verhouding 2,4 cedi = 1 pond, echter werd al in 1967 in een verhouding 1:1,2 door een nieuwe cedi vervangen, zodat 1 pond = 2 cedi werd. Sindsdien is de waarde door inflatie sterk verminderd. WikipediaOver West-Afrikaanse CFA-frank
The West African CFA franc is the currency used by eight independent states in West Africa which make up the West African Economic and Monetary Union: Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo. These eight countries had a combined population of 105.7 million people in 2014, and a combined GDP of US$128.6 billion as of 2018.
The initialism CFA stands for Communauté financière africaine. The currency is issued by the Central Bank of West African States, located in Dakar, Senegal, for the members of the UEMOA. The franc is nominally subdivided into 100 centimes but no coins or banknotes denominated in centimes have ever been issued. The production of CFA franc notes has been carried out at Chamalières by the Bank of France since its creation in 1945.
The Central African CFA franc is of equal value to the West African CFA franc, and is in circulation in several central African states. They are both commonly referred to as the CFA franc.
In December 2019 it was announced that the West African CFA franc would be reformed, which will include renaming it the eco and reducing France's role in the currency. Wikipedia
