Kazakhstan tenge - one of the most protected currencies in the world

The Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the countries that gained its independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, the state refused this ruble almost the latest. The development of the state dictated its rules, and it became necessary to create its own national currency.

Kazakhstani tenge is the currency of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan called its money the word "tenge" not by chance. The origin of this term is rooted in the past and belongs to the Turkic languages. It was in Taraz and Otrar, the ancient cities of Kazakhstan, in the 13th century, coins were minted and called "tanga", which in translation means "money".

Modern Kazakhstan is a rapidly developing and promising state. The acquisition of the sovereignty of the country contributed to the development of the economy and the maintenance of its currency. Kazakh tenge came into use in 1993, and the first factory for their production was opened in 1995. The place of birth of the first tenge was the country of England, and the first coins - "tiyns" - began their life in Germany. The process of importing money into the country was organized in such a way that, within eight days, absolutely all banks of the country were provided with a new currency.

National currency denominated currency

First, the government of the Republic planned the phased entry of tenge into the country's money turnover. But then it was decided to change all the money at once. That is, fully switch to Kazakhstani tenge.

The Kazakhs saw on their hands a tenge worth up to 500 and paper tiyns. But such money quickly and unexpectedly came out of circulation. And they were replaced by the 1000s, 2000s, and in 1998 the country already had a 5000th note.

Coins of Kazakhstan

The appearance of banknotes of a higher denomination in the money market meant that the Kazakhstani tenge was strengthening. Coins went into circulation just as rapidly. An interesting fact is that originally the tiins were paper. Then they were replaced by metal ones. Now the nominal range of coins is extensive, which is very convenient when exchanging large bills. However, at the present time the tiins are coming out of circulation. 50 tiyn were created in 1995, since then their number is decreasing. Paper tenge is replaced by metal. Their nominal range consists of one to one hundred tenge.

Design of banknotes

Like any other currency in the world, Kazakhstani tenge has become a reflection of the entire cultural and political life of the country. The best minds of the republic worked on the design of banknotes. Each denomination has its own unique, very colorful design and carries a subtle meaning.

It is noteworthy that all the bills contain the same main symbols. This is both the state symbols of Kazakhstan, and the image of "Astana-Baiterek", meaning peace and harmony. Another repetitive drawing is an open palm as a sign of goodwill and openness. The difference is only in colors and in the form of ministerial buildings. So, for example, 200 tenge is yellow, and on the bill you can consider the building of the Ministry of Defense and Transport of the Republic. On the back there is a contour of Kazakhstan.

On the 500th note of the Kazakhstani tenge there is an image of the building of the Ministry of Finance of the country. This note has a gray-blue color.

1000 tenge is presented in yellow-brown tones with the image of the Presidential Cultural Center.

The denomination of dignity in 2000 tenge has a green color and the image of the theater named Abay, located in the city of Almaty.

The Independence Monument decorated 5000 tenge. On this bill is also located the image of the hotel "Kazakhstan". The predominant color is red-brown.

10000 note was painted in purple with a blue tint. On the main side is the residence of the President of Kazakhstan.

Interesting is the fact that the most colorful currency is the Kazakh tenge. The photos prove this. In terms of their brightness, the tenge is not inferior even to all known euro banknotes. Noteworthy is the fact that Kazakhstan's tenge is one of the most protected in the world. Banknotes are protected by various watermarks, special overlapping and hidden images, paint that changes color in the ultraviolet, etc. A distinctive feature of all degrees of protection is the transparent window in the bill. There is also a label for visually impaired people. But, despite this, scammers still manage to forge money. This fact leaves no choice to the government, except how to invent and improve the Kazakhstani tenge more and more every year.

Rate of tenge to ruble

The Republic of Kazakhstan is a developing country. The banking system of the state is also extensive and well developed. It is one of the most developed in the world. Therefore in the country in any exchange office you can buy many currencies of the world. As for the Russian ruble, it is bought and sold by all banks without restriction. Only the exchange rate of the ruble can change. In cities, the rate will be much higher than in the suburbs, and averages 1: 5.

Kazakhstan is a very hospitable country, and any tourist has something to look at. Moreover, there will be no problems with the exchange of money, which is very convenient.
