Converting from Mozambican Metical (MZN) to Norwegian Krone (NOK)

What is Mozambican Metical (MZN)

The Mozambican metical (MZN) is the official currency of Mozambique, a country located in Southeast Africa. Introduced in 1980, the metical replaced the previous currency, the escudo, at a rate of one metical to 1,000 escudos. The name "metical" comes from the Arabic word "maktal," which translates to "money" in English.

The metical is subdivided into 100 centavos. It is symbolized by MT and has various banknotes and coins in circulation. The banknotes are available in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 meticais, while coins are typically found in smaller denominations such as 1, 2, 5, and 10 meticais, as well as 1, 2, and 5 centavos.

The value of the metical fluctuates against other currencies due to various economic factors, including inflation, interest rates, and market demand. When dealing with foreign transactions, understanding the exchange rate between the metical and other currencies is crucial for accurate conversions and budgeting.

What is Norwegian Krone (NOK)

The Norwegian krone (NOK) is the official currency of Norway, a Nordic country located in Northern Europe. The term "krone" translates to "crown" in English. The krone was introduced in 1875, replacing the previous currency known as the Speciedaler. Like the metical, the krone is also subdivided into smaller units: the ore, where 1 krone equals 100 øre.

The currency has a strong presence in the global market, known for its stability and low inflation rate. The krone is represented by the symbol "NOK" and is available in various denominations. Banknotes come in denominations of 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 kroner, while coins exist in denominations of 1, 5, 10, and 20 kroner, as well as 1, 5, and 10 øre.

The exchange rate between the Norwegian krone and other currencies, including the Mozambican metical, can fluctuate significantly. Influencing factors include Norway's economic performance, interest rates set by the Norges Bank, and global oil prices—given that the country is a leading oil exporter.

When converting from Mozambican metical to Norwegian krone, individuals need to consider the current exchange rate. The conversion can be determined by the formula:
