Converting from Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU) to Tunisian Dinar (TND)

What is Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU)

The Mauritanian ouguiya (MRU) is the official currency of Mauritania, a country located in West Africa. Introduced in 1973, the ouguiya replaced the Mauritanian peso at a rate of one ouguiya for 5 pesos. Over the years, the currency has undergone several changes, including a revaluation in 2018, which adjusted the exchange rate by reducing four zeros.

The ouguiya is subdivided into 5 khoums, with coins typically in denominations of 1, 5, 10, and 20 ouguiyas, while banknotes are often found in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 ouguiyas. The symbol for the ouguiya is "UM." As a developing economy, Mauritania's currency value can be quite volatile, heavily influenced by the country's economic activities, trade balance, and the global market for its key exports, which include iron ore, fish, and agricultural products.

What is Tunisian Dinar (TND)

The Tunisian dinar (TND) is the official currency of Tunisia, a North African nation known for its rich history and diverse culture. The dinar was first introduced in 1960, replacing the Tunisian franc. It is subdivided into 1,000 millimes. Similar to the ouguiya, the dinar is represented with a symbol, which is “د.ت” (Arabic) or "TD" (Latin script).

The Tunisian dinar is available in both coins and banknotes. Coins are issued in denominations of 5 millimes, 10 millimes, 20 millimes, and 1 dinar, while banknotes are predominantly found in 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 dinars. The dinar is managed by the Central Bank of Tunisia, and its value can fluctuate based on economic indicators such as inflation, foreign exchange reserves, and national debt.

Converting MRU to TND: The Exchange Rate

To convert Mauritanian ouguiyas to Tunisian dinars, it is essential to know the current exchange rate, as it can change frequently due to market conditions. As an example, if the exchange rate is ＄1 MRU = 0.075 TND＄, you would convert by multiplying the amount in ouguiyas by this rate:

Amount in TND = Amount in MRU × Exchange Rate

For instance, to convert 1,000 MRU to TND:

Amount in TND = 1,000 × 0.075 = 75 TND
