What is the official currency of Uzbekistan, introduced after the kupon so'm in 1994?

The Uzbekistani soʻm is Uzbekistan’s official currency and was introduced in 1994 after the temporary soʻm-kupon.

Uzbekistan introduced the soʻm on 1 July 1994, replacing the soʻm-kupon that had served as an interim currency after the country left the Soviet ruble zone. The word soʻm means “pure” in several Turkic languages and was also used for Soviet-era currency names in Central Asia.

The soʻm’s ISO code is UZS. It is divided into 100 tiyin, although inflation has made the smallest subdivisions largely impractical for ordinary purchases. The Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan issues the currency and manages the country’s monetary system.

The soʻm is not the same as the Kyrgyzstani som or Tajikistani somoni. Those names reflect related regional language and history, but each currency belongs to a different country and has its own ISO code.
