What does TENGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The basic monetary unit of Kazakhstan, divided into 100 tiyn.
The tenge replaced the Soviet-era rouble when Kazakhstan introduced its own currency in 1993, giving the newly independent country control over its own money supply. Its name comes from an old Turkic word for a silver coin, linking the modern currency to a much older tradition of coinage in Central Asia. Prices, wages and bank accounts in Kazakhstan are all quoted in tenge, and the word functions in English exactly as pound, dollar or yen do for their own countries.
