[Mauritanian Ouguiya]

The Mauritanian Ouguiya, abbreviated as MRU, is the official currency of Mauritania. Introduced in 1973 to replace the West African CFA franc, it is issued and regulated by the Central Bank of Mauritania, which manages monetary policy and ensures economic stability. The ouguiya is subdivided into 5 khoums, a unique feature among world currencies, though smaller denominations are rarely used due to inflation. The currency is available in both coins and banknotes, with coins ranging from 1 to 50 ouguiya and banknotes from 50 to 10,000 ouguiya, featuring national heroes, cultural symbols, and historic landmarks. Widely used in daily transactions, trade, salaries, and services, the MRU plays a crucial role in supporting Mauritania’s domestic economy. Its stability is essential for commerce, financial confidence, and economic growth.

SLL [Sierra Leonean Leone (Old)]

The old Sierra Leonean Leone, abbreviated as SLL, was the currency of Sierra Leone before the 2022 redenomination. Introduced in 1964 to replace the British West African pound, it was issued and regulated by the Bank of Sierra Leone, which managed monetary policy and maintained economic stability. The old leone was subdivided into 100 cents, though smaller denominations became rarely used due to inflation. Coins and banknotes circulated widely, with coins ranging from 1 to 50 leones and banknotes from 1,000 to 100,000 leones. The SLL played a vital role in daily transactions, trade, salaries, and services until it was replaced by the new leone (SLE) to simplify the currency system and restore financial confidence.
