The Manat is the national currency used in Azerbaijan. It is divided into 100 qəpik. The word manat comes from the Russian word "moneta" which means coin. Manat was also the name of the Soviet ruble in both the Azerbaijani and Turkmen languages.

The Azerbaijani manat symbol, , is not easily typed on computers, so "m" or "man." can be used instead. Azerbaijani manat is also written as AZN. In Azerbaijan people can only use manats. Azerbaijani manats are more valuable than the USD and almost as valuable as the Euro.
