Back to Hyperinflation Banknotes

Mozambique was one of the world's poorest countries when it became independent in 1975. Mismanagement and a brutal civil war from 1977-92 led to continued inflation. The highest denomination in 1976 was 100 Meticais. By 2004, it was 500,000 Meticais. In the 2006 currency reform, 1 new Metica was exchanged for 1,000 old Meticais.
