Khoums
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The khoums (Arabic خمس, "fifth") is the subdivisory unit of the Mauritanian Ouguiya. Five khoums make an ouguiya, hence one khoums can be expressed as MRO/0.2; two as 0.4, four khoums as 0.8, etc. However, due to the khoums's extremely small value (about 0.058 euro cent as of 2006), the khoums probably fell into disuse as a unit of account quite some time ago.[when?]
