What does TOMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalinformal
A unit of currency historically used in Persia as a gold coin, and now used informally in Iran as a colloquial way of counting money equal to ten rials.
Under earlier Persian dynasties the toman was an actual gold coin of considerable value, and its name later carried over into everyday speech long after the coin itself stopped being minted. Iran's official currency today is the rial, but shopkeepers and ordinary speakers commonly quote prices in toman instead, since one toman simply equals ten rials and makes large numbers easier to say. This gap between the official unit and the everyday spoken one can confuse visitors who expect prices to be given in rials.
