What does NGWEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A monetary subunit of the Zambian kwacha, equal to one hundredth of a kwacha.
The ngwee functions in Zambia much like the cent does in dollar-based currencies, and prices below a full kwacha are quoted in ngwee. The name comes from a Bantu word meaning bright or shining, chosen when Zambia introduced its decimal currency in 1968. Coins denominated in ngwee circulate alongside kwacha banknotes for everyday small transactions.
