The currency of Afghanistan is called Afghani (AF). Paper note denominations are AF 1000, 500, 100, 50, 20, 10. Coins come in denominations of 5, 2 and 1.
The exchange rate has fluctuated as Afghanistan’s political stability has changed. For example, in 1981, 50 Afghani’s were equal to $1. In 1994, the currency fell to 2400 Afghani’s to $1. In 2001, under the Taliban, the exchange rate of the Afghani was 73,000 to $1.
As of February, 2011, 1 US Dollar = 45 AF
