Converting from Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) to Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU)

What is Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)

The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) is the official currency of Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China. It has been in use since 1935. The symbol for the Hong Kong Dollar is often represented as "＄", but can also be noted as "HK＄" to differentiate it from other Dollar-denominated currencies around the world.

The HKD is subdivided into 100 cents, which are further broken down into smaller units called "dollars." The currency is notable for its pegged exchange rate to the US dollar, allowing for a relatively stable economic environment within Hong Kong. This pegging has been effective since 1983, with the current fixed exchange rate set at approximately 7.8 HKD to 1 USD.

In daily transactions, the HKD is used in various forms, including banknotes and coins. For practical purposes, the banknotes come in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 HKD, while coins are available in amounts of 10, 20, 50 cents and 1, 2, 5, and 10 HKD. Due to Hong Kong’s role as a major global financial hub, the HKD is widely recognized and traded in international currency markets.

What is Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU)

The Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU) is the official currency of Mauritania, a country located in West Africa. It was introduced in 1973, replacing the previous currency, the Mauritanian ouguiya (MRO) at a rate of 1 new ouguiya to 1,000 old ouguiya. The currency symbol for the MRU is "UM".

The Mauritanian Ouguiya is divided into 5 khoums, or 1/5 of an ouguiya. In terms of coins, there are denominations of 1, 5, and 10 ouguiyas, along with bills of 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 ouguiyas. The Central Bank of Mauritania is responsible for issuing and managing the currency.

While the MRU is primarily used within Mauritania, it is an important part of the country’s economy, which is heavily reliant on agriculture and mining. The value of the MRU can be influenced by various factors, including local economic conditions and trends in global commodity prices.
