About Afghanistan banknotes
Afghanistan introduced the afghani in 1925. Decades of war brought rival note issues and inflation, and in 2002 a new afghani replaced the old at 1,000 to one. Da Afghanistan Bank issues the country's notes, which often show mosques, the Band-e Amir lakes and historic sites.
