Imagine carrying your pocket money on a wheelbarrow, how much of day will you have after that hard work?

1 US Dollar to Somali Shilling = 53.000 Somali Shilling
1 US Dollar to Somaliland Shilling = 5.500 - 6000 Somaliland Shilling
Theyre doing a lot better

You know Ghana printed a new currency called Cedi which is stronger than the dollar.
Does that mean they are doing better than America? No Use your brain
Somaliland/Puntland Money = Fake
Somalia Money = Fake
The difference is the quanitity that is printed and circulated.

Usually if a currency is worth more than the other it means the other economy is doing better, there are exceptions though.
The Ghana case is a revaluation of the old Cedi, they just scrapped a few zeros of the previous Cedi.
Cedi has an inflation rate over 10%, I don't see it being equal to the dollar longer than 5 years unless it is pegged to another currency.
PS. There is no such thing as Puntland money

Stop insulting Somaliland you fool, their money is a lot better then the Somali ones, I seen it.
The Somali shilling does not even have a watermark when you put it against the light, the Somaliland shilling does. Plus their money is regulated by a government.
Fake Somaliland shillings are very rare
