MILLIEME Meaning and
Definition
-
Millieme is a unit of currency that was used in several countries, primarily in the Middle East and North Africa, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The term millieme originated from the French word "mille" meaning thousand, indicating that it represents one thousandth of a basic monetary unit.
In terms of monetary value, a millieme is equivalent to 0.001 of the main currency unit. For example, in countries like Egypt and Sudan, it was used to represent 1/1000th of their respective currencies. Milliemes were typically minted in the form of coins, and their usage was prevalent in daily transactions for smaller denominations. Sometimes, milliemes were also issued in paper banknotes.
Milliemes generally have a smaller denomination and are often used in conjunction with higher-value currency units to facilitate smoother financial transactions. While milliemes were primarily used in the past, many of these countries have now transitioned to decimal-based currencies, making the millieme obsolete for everyday transactions.
The term millieme can also refer to a unit of measurement. In this context, it represents a thousandth part of a whole measurement unit. This can be seen in the use of milliemes in areas such as chemistry, where it measures the concentration of certain substances in solutions or mixtures.

Etymology of MILLIEME
