Converting from Mozambican Metical (MZN) to Mauritius Rupee (MUR)

What is Mozambican Metical (MZN)

The Mozambican metical (MZN) is the official currency of Mozambique, a country located on the southeastern coast of Africa. The name "metical" comes from the Arabic word "mīṭāq," which means "money." This currency was first introduced in 1980, replacing the previous currency, the escudo, at a rate of 1 metical for 100 escudos.

The metical is subdivided into 100 centavos. Coins are available in various denominations, including 1, 2, 5, and 10 meticais, while banknotes are issued in larger denominations like 20, 50, 100, and 200 meticais. The Central Bank of Mozambique is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency.

The strength of the MZN can fluctuate due to various economic factors such as inflation, exchange rates, and the overall stability of the country’s economy. For travelers or businesses dealing with Mozambique, it's important to keep track of the current exchange rate to understand how much their money can buy.

What is Mauritius Rupee (MUR)

The Mauritius rupee (MUR) is the official currency of Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, known for its stunning beaches and rich cultural heritage. The term "rupee" is derived from the silver coin first issued in India. The rupee was introduced as the country's official currency in 1876, replacing the Portuguese and Indian currencies that were used earlier.

The rupee is divided into 100 cents. In Mauritius, you can find coins in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents, as well as 1, 5, 10, and 20 rupees. Banknotes are available in amounts of 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 rupees. The Bank of Mauritius governs the currency, and like the metical, the value of the rupee can change due to various economic conditions, including tourism, trade balance, and inflation rates.
