Currency

The Moroccan Dirham, denoted by MAD, is the official currency of Morocco. Made up of 100 centimes per unit, the currency is issued by the Bank Al-Maghrib (Morocco's central bank). 

Historically, the Moroccan Dirham originates from the Byzantine Empire's Drachm, and was used in Arabia and the Levant in pre-Islamic times. The name "Dirham" stems from the Roman word "denarius."
