Converting from Macau Pataca (MOP) to Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT)

What is Macau Pataca (MOP)

The Macau Pataca (MOP) is the official currency of the Special Administrative Region of Macau, which is part of the People's Republic of China. The pataca is subdivided into 100 avos. The currency symbol for the pataca is MOP＄, although it is often simply denoted as P or MOP.

Introduced in 1894, the pataca has a rich history tied to the region's colonial past and its evolution into a global gaming and tourism hub. The pataca's value is closely tied to the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), as the two currencies share a fixed exchange rate. This connection means that fluctuations in the HKD can impact the value of the pataca. The pataca banknotes are issued in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 patacas, while coins come in 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 avos, as well as 1, 2, 5, and 10 patacas.

When you are in Macau, you will often find that many businesses accept both the pataca and the Hong Kong dollar, so it is quite convenient for tourists visiting from Hong Kong or other parts of Asia.

What is Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT)

The Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT) is the official currency of Kazakhstan, a country located in Central Asia. Introduced in 1993, the tenge succeeded the Soviet ruble and has a unique name derived from the Turkic word "tenge," which means "weight" or "balance." The currency symbol for the tenge is ₸, and it is divided into 100 tiyn.

Kazakhstan has made significant strides in economic development since independence, and the tenge reflects this progress. The currency has undergone several changes in its design and security features to combat counterfeiting and to make it more user-friendly. Banknotes are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 20,000 tenge. Coins are issued in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 tenge.

When traveling or conducting business in Kazakhstan, it is crucial to understand the value of the tenge in relation to other currencies. For instance, the exchange rate between the tenge and other major currencies can fluctuate due to various economic factors.
