Converting from Namibian Dollar (NAD) to Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU)

What is Namibian Dollar (NAD)

The Namibian Dollar (NAD) is the official currency of Namibia, a country located in the southern part of Africa. Introduced in 1993, the NAD replaced the South African Rand at par. The currency symbol for the Namibian Dollar is often represented as "＄" or "N＄" to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies.

The central bank responsible for issuing the Namibian Dollar is the Bank of Namibia. The currency is subdivided into 100 cents, and it comes in various denominations, including coins and banknotes. The coins typically come in 5, 10, 20, 50 cents and 1, 5, 10 dollars, while banknotes are available in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 dollars.

The NAD maintains a fixed exchange rate with the South African Rand, which is accepted in Namibia. Therefore, fluctuations in the South African economy can impact the Namibian Dollar's value. The currency is widely used within the region and plays a vital role in trade and commerce in Namibia.

What is Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU)

The Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU) is the official currency of Mauritania, a country in West Africa. First introduced in 1973, the Ouguiya has undergone changes, including a revaluation that took place in 2018, which effectively replaced the old Ouguiya (MRO) with the new Ouguiya (MRU) at a ratio of 1 MRU to 1,000 MRO. The currency code for the Mauritanian Ouguiya is MRU, and its symbol is often represented as "UM."

The Central Bank of Mauritania is in charge of issuing and regulating the Ouguiya. The MRU is subdivided into 5 khoums, but due to inflation, the use of lower denominations is less common in daily transactions. Banknotes are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Ouguiya, while coins typically come in 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 Ouguiya.

The value of the MRU can be influenced by various factors, including economic performance, inflation, and international trade. Understanding the currency’s value is crucial for anyone looking to engage in trade, travel, or invest in the region.
