Along with the São Tomé and Príncipe set, I also received this Mauritanian set. Yet another set with some cool looking coins. 8) 5 and 10 Ouguiya are dated 2009, 20 and 50 Ouguiya are dated 2010. Currently, there are 300 Ouguiya to a US Dollar, I wonder if it's also a fixed exchange rate?

Reading article on Mauritania on wikipedia makes you feel sad, yet another troubled African country.. :(

Bimat

Glad you liked them, Malawi!

I do not collect banknotes specifically, but since you mentioned it, I just looked up some Mauritanian banknotes on eBay and indeed many of them are beautiful! :)

Missing in your set is the piece of 1 Oug 2009.

It's hard to find, that's why I don't have it. ;)

Anyway, I do not collect Mauritanian coins by type or date, so can live without that. :D

By the way, I recently saw the 1 Oug 2009 coin being sold for USD 8.50 on eBay (that was an auction most probably)...Didn't know that it's hard to find until you posted this yesterday!

If you look at Ebay for "Mauritania 2009" you will find 1 complete set and 4 single coins of that piece.

Edit: Now - 5 min later - no more actual. Two single pieces now.

Does anyone have 50 Ouguiya dated 2014 (And possibly, other denominations)? French mint confirmed to me that they have indeed struck 2014 dated 50 Ouguiya coins. I have asked them if they have also struck other denominations, yet to hear from them. From the photo they have provided, it seems like metal composition of 50 Ouguiya has changed? Or is it just lighting effect?

My 10h edition of SCWC (2001-2016) doesn't list any dates after 2010 for 20/50 Ouguiya.

Weltmünzkatalog 1901-2000 edition 45 (2017) by Dr. Gerhard Schön lists the 20 Ouguiya coin as having been minted in 2014. It doesn't list the 2014-dated 50 Ouguiya coin. I do not see any difference in colour and so do not think the alloy has changed.

Thank you! :)

I am yet to see 50 Ouguiya dated 2014 on eBay or elsewhere...I think it's being introduced now, but with earlier date as MdP tweeted about it only recently.
