What does DOBRA mean in Scrabble?
noun
The basic monetary unit of Sao Tome and Principe, divided into one hundred centavos.
The dobra takes its name from an old Portuguese gold coin and became the currency of Sao Tome and Principe after the islands gained independence from Portugal. Because the economy is small, prices in dobra can run into large numbers, and the country later redenominated the currency to simplify everyday transactions. Banks and shops throughout the islands quote all local prices in dobra rather than any foreign currency.
