What does DIRAM mean in Scrabble?
noun
A monetary unit of Tajikistan, equal to one hundredth of a somoni.
Tajikistan introduced the diram alongside its main currency, the somoni, when it replaced the Tajikistani ruble in the early 2000s. Like a cent or a penny elsewhere, a diram is too small in value to matter much on its own and mostly appears in coin form for exact change. Shops and banks in Tajikistan quote small prices using diram alongside whole somoni amounts.
How DIRAM is used
