Australian Dollar to Bhutanese Ngultrum — exchange rate

The Australian dollar (symbol: $ ,code: AUD, number 036) is the currency of the Commonwealth of Australia. It is used not only on the territory of Australia, but also on the adjacent islands: Cocos Islands, Norfolk, and Christmas Islands. $ is identified as AUD or by the classic dollar sign on the global financial market.

One AUD is 100 cents. It has come into action in 1966, replacing the Australian pound. Since the late 80s, banknotes have been being made from special flexible plastic instead of paper. It makes money last longer in humid Australian climate. Interestingly, all banknotes have the same height, but are different in length. On the notes you can find portraits of historical and political figures, important buildings and objects. Australia also regularly issues commemorative coins worth 50 cents.

The Bhutanese ngultrum (Nu) serves as the national currency of the Kingdom in Eastern Asia – Bhutan. It is used along with the Indian rupee. The BTN abbreviation is traditionally used to simplify its difficult name.

Chhertum is used as change for the Bhutanese ngultrum. Every BTN has 100 chhertum. The currency has been in circulation since 1974. Before that, only rupees had been used in the country. Occasionally, Bhutan issues commemorative banknotes with unique themes. At one point, there were printed banknotes with scenes from a royal wedding, with mythical angels, and with lotuses – traditional symbols of Asia.
