The rufiyaa (Dhivehi: ދިވެހި ރުފިޔާ) is the currency of the Maldives. Determining the exchange rate for the US dollar and the issuance of the currency is controlled by the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA). The most commonly used symbols for the rufiyaa are MRF and Rf. The ISO 4217 code for Maldivian rufiyaa is MVR. The rufiyaa is subdivided into 100 laari. The name rufiyaa is derived from the Hindi word rupiyaa (रुपया) ultimately from Sanskrit rupya (रूप्य; wrought silver).
