Converting from Lithuanian Lita (LTL) to Turkmenistan Manat (TMT)

What is Lithuanian Lita (LTL)

The Lithuanian Lita (LTL) was the official currency of Lithuania until the country adopted the Euro (EUR) on January 1, 2015. The Lita was subdivided into 100 centų. Throughout its usage, the LTL symbol was often represented as "Lt," and it played a critical role in Lithuania's economic history. The Lita was introduced in 1922 and saw various changes over its lifetime, including two periods of revaluation due to economic changes and political shifts.

When Lithuania joined the European Union in 2004, there were discussions about transitioning to the Euro. This shift came after a significant amount of economic growth and stabilization. The Lita's exchange rates were regulated by the Bank of Lithuania, which aimed to maintain a fixed peg to the Euro leading up to the transition. Even after its official cessation, the Lita holds a nostalgic value for many Lithuanians, reflective of the country’s journey toward independence and economic development.

What is Turkmenistan Manat (TMT)

The Turkmenistan Manat (TMT) is the official currency of Turkmenistan. First introduced in 1993, the manat replaced the Soviet ruble at a rate of 500 manat for every 1 ruble. The currency has undergone several changes over the years, including a major redenomination in 2009, where the exchange rate was adjusted to 1 new manat equals 5,000 old manat. The symbol used for the manat is "T" and is typically abbreviated as TMT.

The Manat is divided into 100 teňňe, although teňňe coins are rarely used in everyday transactions. The Central Bank of Turkmenistan is responsible for issuing the currency and regulating its value. Depending on various economic factors, the manat's value can fluctuate significantly, making it important for people engaged in trade or travel to be aware of current exchange rates.
