UGX [Ugandan Shilling]

The Ugandan Shilling, abbreviated as UGX, is the official currency of Uganda. Introduced in 1966 to replace the East African shilling, it is issued and regulated by the Bank of Uganda, which manages monetary policy and ensures economic stability. The shilling is subdivided into 100 cents, though smaller denominations are rarely used due to inflation. It is available in both coins and banknotes, with coins ranging from 50 cents to 500 shillings and banknotes from 1,000 to 50,000 shillings, featuring national heroes, cultural symbols, and historic landmarks. Widely used in daily transactions, trade, salaries, and services, the UGX plays a vital role in supporting Uganda’s economy. Its stability fosters commerce, financial confidence, and economic growth.

The Aruban Florin, abbreviated as AWG and symbolized by ƒ or Afl., is the official currency of Aruba, a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is issued and regulated by the Central Bank of Aruba, which manages monetary policy, currency issuance, and financial stability on the island. One florin is subdivided into 100 cents, with coins and banknotes in various denominations used for everyday transactions. The Aruban Florin was introduced in 1986, replacing the Netherlands Antillean guilder at par, and has since been pegged to the U.S. dollar at a fixed rate of 1 USD ≈ 1.79 AWG, ensuring stability in trade, tourism, and banking.
