Mauritanian Ouguiya

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

MRO is also the acronym for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter


The Mauritanian ouguiya (ISO 4217: MRO) is the currency of Mauritania. The only circulating currency other than the Malagasy ariary whose division units are not based on a power of ten, each ouguiya is comprised of five khoums خمس. However, since 1 will get you about 253 MRO (conversion as of 6 Dec 2004 [1]), the khoums may have fallen into disuse as a unit of transaction some time ago.
