The Euro is the official Euro currency. EUR/GHS represents the value of Euro money in Cedi money and it is called the 'exchange rate' or 'forex rate'. This exchange rate from Euro to Cedi is today at 16.913.
As an example, suppose you are from Accra Ghana and you travel to Paris European Union. There, you need to get 1000 Euros ( €) at a Paris bank to pay your hotel. In this case you would pay 16.913 * 1000 = 16,913.157 Cedis (GH₵). But, in practice, you will pay more (or perhaps much more) to get the same amount of your foreign currency due to the margin for the money conversion services costs like: commissions, credit card surcharges, ATM fees and other expenses. If, for example, you are using a credit card, this margin will typically be around 2 to 3 percent. We recommend that you choose the best place to make your money exchange because there can be a large difference between forex rates you will get.
In the example above for a 1000 Euros amount, the result of the money conversion is 17,251.420 GHS for a 2% margin or 17,420.551 GHS for a 3% margin.

So, if you make the same calculations above, there will be a difference of about 1,691.316 GHS depending on which forex bank or agency you choose to exchange your money.
