G’day all. I’ve been holding off on this post a few weeks because I wanted to find my coins from Morocco and Mauritania. And today I did so ‘yay’! Unfortunately I discovered I didn’t have many but at least I have something to share with you.

Firstly we start with the Moroccan Dirham. Today it’s worth a little under 10 Dirham to $1USD.

The Mauritanian Ouguiya is not so strong coming in at just under 40 for $1USD. Interestingly the notes are the plastic kind, the technology of which was pioneered in Australia!

Money from lesser known countries I think is always fascinating and to press a coin that is made up of three different elements. Very cool indeed!

Thanks for popping in today! Take care wherever you are in the world – May the Journey Never End!
