Converting from Mozambican Metical (MZN) to Maldives Rufiyaa (MVR)

What is Mozambican Metical (MZN)

The Mozambican metical (MZN) is the official currency of Mozambique, a country located in southeastern Africa. Introduced in 1980, the metical replaced the escudo at a rate of 1 metical for 1,000 escudos. The currency has undergone several changes and redenominations throughout its history due to hyperinflation.

The term "metical" is derived from a word that historically references a Portuguese unit of measure, reflecting Mozambique's colonial past. The currency is subdivided into 100 centavos. The metical's symbol is MZN, and it is commonly expressed in financial transactions as MTL, especially in its older forms.

When exchanging MZN, you will find several denominations available in both coins and banknotes. Coins may include values such as 1, 2, 5, and 10 meticais, while banknotes are available in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200, and more. The exchange rates for the metical can fluctuate based on various economic factors, including inflation, market demand, and international trade relationships.

What is Maldives Rufiyaa (MVR)

The Maldives rufiyaa (MVR) is the official currency of the Maldives, an island nation located in the Indian Ocean. The rufiyaa was first introduced in 1981, replacing the Maldivian rufiyaa that had been in circulation since the late 19th century. The currency is abbreviated as MVR, with its symbol often written as Rf.

The rufiyaa is subdivided into 100 laari. As with the metical, the exchange rate for the rufiyaa can vary based on economic conditions, tourism demand, and foreign currency reserves. The Maldives being a popular tourist destination often influences the value of its currency.

Paper currency for the rufiyaa includes denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 500 rufiyaa, while coins are available in lower denominations such as 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 laari. The colorful notes feature designs that showcase the natural beauty of the Maldives, including images of its unique marine life and cultural heritage.
