The currency of Afghanistan is the Afghan afghani, abbreviated as AFN. The afghani has been the official currency of Afghanistan since the early 1920s. It has undergone several changes and redenominations over the years, particularly following periods of turmoil and conflict. The currency is subdivided into 100 pul, though the small denomination coins are less commonly used. The Afghan afghani comes in both banknotes and coins, with banknotes featuring prominent figures from Afghan history and national symbols. The currency's stability and value can be affected by various economic factors, including inflation and political climate.
