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

What is Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU)

The Mauritanian ouguiya (MRU) is the official currency of Mauritania, a country located in West Africa. The currency code for the ouguiya is MRU, while the symbol is represented as "UM." The ouguiya was introduced in 1973, replacing the national currency at that time, the Mauritanian ouguiya of 1973, at a conversion rate of 1 new ouguiya = 5 old ouguiya.

The central bank of Mauritania, the Central Bank of Mauritania (Banque Centrale de Mauritanie), is responsible for issuing and regulating the ouguiya. The currency operates in both banknotes and coins, with common denominations in banknotes being 100, 200, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 ouguiya. Coins include denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 ouguiya.

As a developing economy, Mauritania's currency is affected by various factors, including inflation and changes in the global market. The value of the ouguiya may fluctuate against foreign currencies due to these economic pressures. When converting from MRU to other currencies, including the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), one must take into account the current exchange rates.

What is Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)

The Hong Kong dollar (HKD) is the official currency of Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China. The currency symbol for the Hong Kong dollar is "＄," but it is often represented as "HK＄" to differentiate it from other currencies that use the dollar symbol. The currency code is HKD, and it has been in use since 1863.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) manages the Hong Kong dollar, maintaining its stability and fixed exchange rate with the United States dollar (USD). The currency is issued in both coins and banknotes, with coins available in denominations of 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, ＄1, ＄2, ＄5, and ＄10. Banknotes are issued in higher denominations, including ＄20, ＄50, ＄100, ＄500, and ＄1,000.
