The units for money in Nigeria are Naira and kobo. The symbol of naira is ₦. While that of kobo is K. Like we learnt in previous term, some of the currency exists as notes while others exist as coins. However, the coins are no longer in circulation. The following denomination exists as notes

₦1000

₦500

₦200

₦100

₦50

₦20

₦10

₦5

 

100k = ₦1 and ₦1 is equivalent to 100k.

So, ₦5.00 = 500k

 

₦3.70 = 370k

₦10.50 = 1050k

Example

Change 126k to Naira           = ₦1. 26

Change 1926k to Naira                   = ₦19.26

 

Change ₦3.40 to kobo = 340k

Change ₦14.95 to kobo        = 1495k
