Kuhusu Baht ya Tailandi
The baht is the official currency of Thailand. It is divided into 100 satang. The currency was officially adopted 1238 and continuously issued since. Initially issued in the podduang form, King Rama IV decided to switch to flat coins in 1860. The baht was then decimalized in 1897, before which the baht was divided into 8 fueang, each into 8 at, and each into 100 bia. The issuance of currency is the responsibility of the Bank of Thailand. SWIFT ranked the Thai baht as the 10th-most-frequently used world payment currency as of December 2023.
The baht was defined as 15.16 grams of silver or gold, which was exchanged at 16:1 ratio. This was the case until the decree of June 29th 1874 which switched the Thai baht to the silver standard, and again in 1908, converting the baht to the gold standard before being completely debased in 1962 with the halt in production of the silver baht coin.
The baht was pegged to the Spanish dollar from 1856 at a ฿5 to $3 ratio. It was then pegged to the pound at a ฿8 to £1 in 1880 and subsequently several re-pegging to a new ratio. The baht was then pegged to the US Dollar at a ฿20 to $1 ratio along with several re-peg. WikipediaKuhusu Dola ya Marekani
Dola ya Marekani ni sarafu rasmi ya Marekani, iliyoanzishwa mwaka 1792 na kutolewa na Hifadhi ya Shirikisho. Ni sarafu kuu ya akiba duniani, inayotumika sana katika biashara ya kimataifa, bidhaa, na masoko ya fedha za kigeni. Mbali na Marekani, nchi kama Ecuador, El Salvador, na Zimbabwe pia hutumia dola ya Marekani kama sarafu yao rasmi.
Dola ya Marekani inapatikana kwa noti za dola 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 na 100. Kuna pia sarafu ya dola 1.
Dola moja ina senti 100. Senti huitwa pia "penny" nchini Marekani. Kuna sarafu za nusu dolar, robo dolar na sarafu za senti 10, 5 na 1.
Hadi mwaka 1969 noti ya dolar ya Marekani ilikuwa na ahadi ya kwamba serikali ya Marekani itampatia kila mtu dhahabu kulingana na thamani ya dola hizi akipenda kuzibadilisha.
Usawa huu na thamani ya dhahabu ulifutwa. Leo hii dola ya Marekani ni pesa ya kuiamini serikali kama pesa zote. Maana yake watumiaji husadiki ya kwamba serikali haitachapisha dola kushinda uwezo wa uchumi na thamani ya bidhaa zilizopo nchini Tanzania.
Tangu mwisho wa Vita Kuu ya Pili ya Dunia dola ya Marekani imekuwa pesa kuu duniani na sehemu kubwa ya biashara ya kimataifa hukadiriwa kwa dola hizo. Wikipedia
