Currency
Swedish krona. The krona (Swedish: [??kr????na]; plural: kronor; sign: kr; code: SEK) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Sweden.

In English, the currency is sometimes referred to as the Swedish crown, as krona means "crown" in Swedish. The Swedish krona was the ninth-most traded currency in the world by value in April 2016.

Eritrean nakfa. The nakfa (ISO 4217 code: ERN; Tigrinya: ????????? na???fa, or Arabic: ?????????? or ???????? n??kf??) is the currency of Eritrea and was introduced on 15 November 1997 to replace the Ethiopian birr at par. The currency takes its name from the Eritrean town of Nakfa, site of the first major victory of the Eritrean War of Independence. The nakfa is divided into 100 cents. The nakfa is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate of US$1 = ERN 15. At earlier times, it was officially pegged at US$1 = ERN 13.50. The currency is not fully convertible, so black market rates available on the streets typically offered a rate of 15 nakfas per dollar. Between 18 November and 31 December 2015, the Bank of Eritrea began replacement of all nakfa banknotes. The banknote replacement initiative was designed to combat counterfeiting, the informal economy but primarily Sudanese human traffickers who had accepted payments in nakfa...

Ghanaian cedi. The cedi ( SEE-dee, pronounced in the same way as CD) (currency sign: GH???; currency code: GHS) is the unit of currency of Ghana. It is the fourth historical and only current legal tender in the Republic of Ghana. One Cedi is divided into one hundred Pesewas (Gp). After independence, Ghana separated itself from the British West African pound, which was the currency of the British colonies in the region.

It is the third-most traded currency in the foreign exchange market, after the United States dollar and the euro. It is also widely used as a third reserve currency after the US dollar and the euro.

The yen replaced the previous Tokugawa coinage as well as the various hansatsu paper currencies issued by feudal han (fiefs).

To stabilize the Japanese economy, the exchange rate of the yen was fixed at ??360 per...
