Turkmenistan coins are minted in the Central Asian country’s main unit, the manat, as well as in tenge (1 manat = 100 tenge). The first Turkmenistan coins were issued in 1993, following the country’s 1991 independence.
Monetary reforms in 2009 gave rise to the new manat, which was equal to 5,000 old manats. New coins were introduced at this time, giving Turkmenistan coin collectors some new angles and new areas of focus.
