Mauritania Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in Mauritania reflects the economic and cultural evolution of this African country. Since its independence in 1960, Mauritania has undergone several changes in its monetary system, going through different designs and denominations in its banknotes.

Current banknotes in circulation

Currently, the official currency of Mauritania is the Ouguiya, introduced in 1973. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 Ouguiya. These banknotes feature designs that reflect Mauritanian culture and history, with images of iconic buildings, desert landscapes and important historical figures.

Old banknotes and historical changes

Prior to the introduction of the Ouguiya, Mauritania used the CFA Franc. Mauritania's first own banknotes were issued in 1974, one year after the introduction of the new currency. An important milestone in the history of Mauritanian notafilia was the redenomination of the Ouguiya in 2018, when new banknotes with adjusted values were introduced, removing a zero from previous denominations to combat inflation.
