Editing Non-decimal currency (section)

== Contemporary situation ==
Today, only two countries have non-decimal currencies: [[Mauritania]], where 1 [[Mauritanian ouguiya|ouguiya]] = 5 [[khoums]], and [[Madagascar]], where 1 [[Malagasy ariary|ariary]] = 5 [[iraimbilanja]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://famouswonders.com/malagasy-ariary/|title=Malagasy Ariary|website=famouswonders.com|date=4 April 2011 |access-date=2016-12-13}}</ref> However, these are only theoretically non-decimal, as in both cases the value of each sub-unit is too small to be of any practical use and coins of sub-unit denominations are no longer used.

The official currency of the [[Sovereign Military Order of Malta]], which retains its claims of [[sovereignty]] under international law and has been granted [[United Nations General Assembly observers|permanent observer status]] at the [[United Nations]], is the [[Maltese scudo]], which is subdivided into 12 tarì, each of 20 grani with 6 piccoli to the grano.

All other contemporary currencies are either [[decimal currency|decimal]] or have no sub-units at all, either because they have been abolished or because they have lost all practical value and are no longer used.
