What does TIYIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small monetary unit used as a subdivision of the main currency in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, equal to one hundredth of the primary unit.
A tiyin functions much like a cent or a penny, existing only as a fractional part of a larger currency unit rather than as money in its own right. Uzbekistan divides its som into one hundred tiyin, and Kyrgyzstan uses the same subdivision for its own som, though coins for the smallest tiyin values have mostly disappeared from daily transactions because of inflation. The word entered English mainly through discussions of Central Asian currency systems rather than through everyday international trade. Similar small fractional units exist under different names in many countries, but tiyin remains specific to this particular region and its post-Soviet monetary history.
How TIYIN is used
A technical term met mainly in writing about Central Asian currencies rather than in everyday conversation outside the region.
