Sudanese Pound

As the 21st century progresses, more and more countries are moving away from using traditional forms of currency, such as the dollar, and instead are adopting digital currencies. One such currency is the SDG, or the Sudanese Dinar. The SDG is the official currency of Sudan, and was introduced in 1992, replacing the Sudanese Pound. The SDG is subdivided into 100 qirush, and is pegged to the US dollar at a rate of $1 = SDG4.2. The SDG is issued by the Bank of Sudan, and is available in both coins and banknotes. The coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 qirush, while the banknotes are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 Sudanese pounds. The SDG is used not only in Sudan, but also in the neighbouring country of South Sudan. In fact, the SDG is the only currency that is legal tender in both Sudan and South Sudan. This is due to the fact that, when South Sudan became independent from Sudan in 2011, it did not have its own currency, and so adopted the SDG as its own. The SDG is a relatively new currency, but it is one that is slowly gaining popularity and acceptance. With its peg to the US dollar, the SDG is a stable currency, and one that is likely to continue to be used in Sudan and South Sudan for many years to come.
