| General Description | Color Green The tögrög or tugrik (Mongolian, төгрөг, tögrög) is the official currency of Mongolia. It was historically subdivided into 100 möngö. Currently, the lowest denomination in regular use is the 10 tögrög note and the highest is the 20,000-tögrög note. The word tögrög (төгрөг) refers to "circle", or a "circular object" (i.e. a coin), but now is rarely used outside of referring to the currency, with the exception of the phrase төгрөг сар (tögrög sar), meaning "full moon". The tögrög was introduced on December 9, 1925 at a value equal to one Soviet ruble, where one ruble or tögrög was equal to 18 grams (0.58 ozt) of silver. It replaced the Mongolian dollar and other currencies and became the sole legal currency on April 1, 1928. Möngö coins are not in circulation as currency any longer, as they are of negligible value. They are sold to tourists and as novelties and collectibles now. |
