The word "manat" is derived from the Latin word "monēta" and the Russian word "монета" ("moneta") meaning "coin".[1] It was used as the name of the Soviet currency in Azeri (Azerbaijani: манат) and in Turkmen.
The Democratic Republic issued notes in denominations of 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 manats, whilst the Soviet Socialist Republic issued notes in denominations of 5, 100, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 25,000, 50,000, 100,000, 250,000, 1 million, and 5 million manats.
On 1 January 2006, a new manat (ISO 4217 code AZN, also called the "manat (national currency)") was introduced at a ratio of 1 new manat to 5,000 old manats. From 1 October 2005, prices were indicated both in new manats and in old manats to ease the transition. Coins denominated in qəpik, which had not been used from 1993 onward due to inflation, were reintroduced with the re-denomination. The former manat (ISO code 4217 AZM) remained in use through to 31 December 2006.[3]
The new manat was initially assigned the code AYM on being added to the ISO 4217 standard on 1 June 2005, with an effective date of 1 January 2006.[6] However, this was removed and replaced by AZN on 13 October 2005 as it did not comply with the ISO 4217 currency coding standardization rules (which state that currency codes must begin with the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for the relevant country).[7]
In recent weeks, however, the currency has slid further, and on April 3, RFE/RL correspondents in the capital, Ashgabat, reported that the manat had reached 38 to the dollar by midday, and 40 by day's end.
Last month, President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov demanded that officials ensure "strict control over the implementation of regulations when converting manat funds into foreign currency at the official rate."
Dollars are king in Turkmenistan. Take plenty with you. You cannot pay with dollar in shops or restaurants, but you will be asked to pay with them in hotels, certain tourist sights and for your tour operator. You cannot exchange manat outside of Turkmenistan, so only exchange what you intend to use, as it is impossible to exchange manat back into dollar inside Turkmenistan.
Make sure you get rid of your manat before you leave the country, it is very difficult to exchange it once outside of Turkmenistan. Questions and reports are welcome in the exchanging manat outside of Turkmenistan forum thread.
Turkmenistan is in serious economic trouble. Its solution is to go cash-free as much as possible, making exchanging money more difficult, but at the same time, pushing up exchange rates for dollars on the black market. Eurasianet has the details.

"Today, the rate of manat is not determined by the market. IfAzerbaijan switched to 'free floating' exchange rate, a one percentchange in the dollar against manat rate would be observed after theFed's decision. However, the price of the U.S. dollar in Azerbaijanis defined by the Central Bank and the Fed's decision does notdirectly affect the Azerbaijani manat," said the expert.
Economist Vugar Bayramov shares this view, saying that : "Thepsychological pressure in the Azerbaijani society will grow, butfrom an economic point of view, the Fed's decision will not have aserious impact on the exchange rate of manat.
Raising interest rates is likely to lead to an increase in thecost of credit resources attracted in dollars, which will reduceforeign demand for products from the U.S. This, in turn, will slowexports from the country and make it more expensive.
Moreover, further strengthening of the U.S. dollar will lead toserious problems for the developing countries because of the highlevel of foreign debt, denominated in dollars in both the publicand private sectors.
However, strengthening of the U.S. dollar also means furthercheapening of already inexpensive hydrocarbons. The world oilprices immediately responded to the Fed's decision: following theauction, they fell more than 5 percent. Brent now costs $37.22 perbarrel, while the price of WTI is $35.46 per barrel.
