About the Mozambican Metical
Mozambique introduced the metical in 1980, five years after independence from Portugal, replacing the Mozambican escudo. Years of civil war and economic disruption drove significant inflation, prompting the Bank of Mozambique to redenominate the currency in 2006 — replacing 1,000 old metical with 1 new metical — to make everyday transactions more manageable and restore confidence.
