What does EYRIR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A monetary subunit of Iceland, equal to one hundredth of a krona.
Iceland once minted small eyrir coins alongside the krona for everyday change, much as a cent divides a dollar or a penny divides a pound. Rising prices eventually made a single eyrir worth so little that the coins fell out of circulation, though the unit still appears in older price lists, banking records, and historical accounts of Icelandic currency. The plural form, aurar, is used when referring to more than one eyrir.
