The afghani (sign: ؋ or Af (plural: Afs) code: AFN; Pashto: افغانۍ [ʔɐvɣɑˈnəɪ]; Dari: افغانی [ʔɐvɣɑːˈniː]) is the official currency of Afghanistan, a status it has held since the 1920s. It is nominally subdivided into 100 puls (پول), although there are no pul coins in circulation as of 2026. Printed in Poland, the afghani currency is managed solely by the Central Bank of Afghanistan.
The afghani was introduced in 1923 but is still informally referred to as a rupee by some in conversation and transactions, a legacy of its predecessing Afghan rupee currency. Its current exchange rate is around 65 afghanis for 1 United States dollar.
