It is divided into 100 '''tiyn''' ({{langx|kk|тиын}}, {{lang|kk-latn|tiyn}} {{IPA-kk|təˈjən|}}).

==History==
After the breakup of the [[Soviet Union]] in December 1991, most of the formerly Soviet republics attempted to maintain a common currency. Some politicians hoped to at least maintain "special relations" among former Soviet republics (the "[[near abroad]]"). Other reasons were the economic considerations for maintaining the ruble zone. The wish to preserve strong trade relations between former Soviet republics was considered the most important goal.<ref name=Odling>{{cite web|author= Odling-Smee, J. ao|title= The IMF and the ruble area, 1991-93|date= 2001|url= http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2001/wp01101.pdf|access-date= 2014-12-16}}</ref>

The break-up of the Soviet Union was not accompanied by any formal changes in monetary arrangements. The [[Central Bank of Russia]] took over the State Bank of the USSR ([[Gosbank]]) on 1 January 1992. It continued to ship Soviet notes and coins to the central banks of the eleven newly independent countries, which had formerly been the main branches of Gosbank in the republics.

The political situation, however, was not favourable for maintaining a common currency.<ref name=Odling/> Maintaining a common currency requires a strong political consensus in respect to monetary and fiscal targets, a common institution in charge of implementing these targets, and some minimum of common legislation (concerning the banking and foreign-exchange regulations).{{citation needed|date=November 2020}} These conditions were far from being met amidst the turbulent economic and political situation.

During the first half of 1992, there existed a [[monetary union]] where 15 independent states all used the ruble. Since it was clear that the situation would not last, each of them was using its position as "free-riders" to issue huge amounts of money in the form of credit.<ref name=Dab>{{cite web|author= Dąbrowski, M|title= The reasons for the collapse of the Ruble zone|date= 1995|url= http://www.case-research.eu/sites/default/files/publications/3460035_058e_0.pdf|access-date= 2014-12-16}}</ref> As a result, some countries were issuing coupons in order to "protect" their markets from buyers from other states. The [[Central Bank of Russia|Russian central bank]] responded in July 1992 by setting up restrictions to the flow of credit between Russia and other states. The final collapse of the ruble zone began when Russia pulled out with the exchange of banknotes by the Central Bank of Russia on Russian territory at the end of July 1993.

As a result, Kazakhstan and other countries still in the ruble zone were "pushed out".<ref name=Dab/> On 12 November 1993, the [[President of Kazakhstan]] issued a [[decree]] "On introducing national currency of Republic of Kazakhstan". The tenge was introduced on 15 November 1993 to replace [[Soviet ruble|Soviet currency]] at a rate of ₸&nbsp;1 = Rbls&nbsp;500. In 1991 a "special group" of designers was set up: Mendybay Alin, Timur Suleymenov, Asimsaly Duzelkhanov and Khayrulla Gabzhalilov. Thus 15 November is celebrated as the "Day of National Currency of Republic of Kazakhstan". In 1995 a tenge-printing factory opened in Kazakhstan. The first consignment of tenge banknotes were printed in the United Kingdom and the first coins were struck in Germany. In February 2019, Kazakh President [[Nursultan Nazarbayev]] signed a bill into law that will remove all Russian captions from future tenge banknotes and coins.<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://www.interfax.ru/world/651676|title= С казахстанских тенге исчезнут надписи на русском языке|date= 2019-02-22|website= Interfax.ru|language= ru|access-date= 2019-02-22}}</ref>

===Etymology===
The word ''tenge'' in [[Kazakh language|Kazakh]] and in most other [[Turkic languages]] means a set of [[weighing scale|scales]] (''cf'' the old [[Uzbekistan|Uzbek]] ''tenga'' or the [[Tajik language|Tajik]] borrowed term ''tanga''). The origin of the word is the [[Mongolic languages|Mongolic]] word ''teng'' (ᠲᠡᠩ) originating from Chinese ''děng'' (等 or 戥) which means "being equal, balance". The name of this currency is thus similar to the [[pound (currency)|pound]], [[lira]], [[peso]], [[taka]], and [[shekel]]. The name of the currency is also related to the Russian word for money {{langx|ru|деньги }}/ {{lang|ru-Latn|den'gi}}, which the [[Old Russian]] language borrowed from Turkic sources.<ref name="wiktionary">{{cite web|url=https://ru.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C%D0%B3%D0%B8|title=деньги — Викисловарь|website=ru.wiktionary.org|access-date=2021-02-05}}</ref>

===Symbol===
{{Not to be confused with|〒|text=〒, the [[Japanese postal mark]]}}[[File:Kazakhstani tenge symbol.svg|80px|thumb|left|The symbol for the Kazakhstani tenge.]]
Originally a simple letter "[[Т]]" was used to denote amounts in tenge, this is still recommended when the tenge symbol is not available.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/33367/33304.pdf?sequence=4|title=World Bank Editorial Style Guide 2020 - page 136 |website=openknowledge.worldbank.org |access-date=2022-08-01}}</ref> In autumn 2006 the National Bank of Kazakhstan organised a competition for a unique symbol for the currency and received over 30,000 applications.
On 20 March 2007, two days before the [[Nauryz]] holiday, the [[National Bank of Kazakhstan]] approved a graphical symbol for the tenge: ₸. <!--It is the character for "[[Tengri]]" from [[Orkhon script|Old turkic script]] similar to Latin "T" with bar above.--> <!-- It resembles the [[Japanese postal mark]]. -->
On 29 March 2007, the Bank announced two designers from [[Almaty]], Vadim Davydenko and Sanzhar Amirkhanov, as winners for the design of the symbol of the Kazakhstani tenge. They shared a prize of ₸1,000,000 and the title of "parents" of the tenge symbol.<ref>{{Cite web |url= http://www.izvestia.kz/node/9694 |title= Узнавайте тенге в "лицо"! &#124; www.izvestia.kz |access-date= 2012-05-03 |archive-url= https://archive.today/20130218210821/http://www.izvestia.kz/node/9694 |archive-date= 2013-02-18 |url-status= dead }}</ref>
The character was included in Unicode 5.2.0 (August 2009) at code point U+20B8.<ref>

== Coins ==
While older coins were struck in Germany, current coins are struck domestically, by the Kazakhstan Mint in [[Oskemen]].

===First series (1993)===
In 1993, the first series of coins were introduced in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 tiyin featuring the national arms and were struck in bronze. The coins of ₸&nbsp;1, ₸&nbsp;3, ₸&nbsp;5, ₸&nbsp;10, and ₸&nbsp;20 were struck in cupro-nickel and depicted stylized and mythical animals. The coins of this period circulated alongside tiyin and low denomination tenge notes of equal value. Tiyin coins were withdrawn as of 7 February 2001 and lost their effect as legal currency as of 31 December 2012.<ref>Указ Президента Республики Казахстан от 7 февраля 2001 года № 549 «О некоторых вопросах функционирования национальной валюты Республики Казахстан».</ref><ref name="spinform">{{cite web|url=http://base.spinform.ru/show_doc.fwx?rgn=47851|website=base.spinform.ru |title=Указ Президента Республики Казахстан от 9 ноября 2011 года № 170|access-date=2021-02-05}}</ref>

===Second series (1998)===
[[File:Tenge coins.jpg|thumb|300px|right|₸1, ₸2, ₸5, ₸10, ₸20, ₸50 and ₸100 coins of the second series.]]
In 1998, a new series of coins was introduced. After the withdrawal of tiyin denominated coins ₸&nbsp;1 became the smallest denomination. ₸&nbsp;100 were later introduced in 2002 replacing the equivalent notes. A ₸&nbsp;2 coin was introduced in 2005. In 2013 the alloy of lower denomination coins was altered.

===Third series (2019)===
In 2019, a new series of coins was introduced into circulation, with the same coin specifications and metallic compositions as the second series. But with the inscriptions of the coins now rendered in Latin-based [[Kazakh alphabets|Kazakh]] instead of Kazakh-based Cyrillic.

The coins were issued as part of the efforts of the presidential decree issued by former President [[Nursultan Nazarbayev]] of its transition of switching from a Cyrillic-based alphabet to a Latin-based alphabet and emphasizing Kazakh culture and distance the country from Russian influence. The designs of the coins were approved by Interim President [[Kassym-Jomart Tokayev]] on 20 March 2019. Previously issued coins bearing the Kazakh Cyrillic script will remain legal tender alongside the new Kazakh Latin inscribed coins. 
In 2019, the National Bank of Kazakhstan announced the issuance of new ₸200 coins, which were issued into circulation in 2020. This new denomination features inscriptions in Latin-based Kazakh, and like the ₸100 coin, is bi-metallic.<ref>[https://nationalbank.kz/file/download/47203] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220809050101/https://nationalbank.kz/file/download/47203|date=2022-08-09}} Қазақстан Ұлттық Банкі.

=== 2006 series ===
[[File:Kz 2000 tenge error.jpg|thumb|Some ₸2,000 notes spelled the word {{lang|kk|банкі}} (bank) incorrectly as {{lang|kk|банқі}}.]]
The [[National Bank of Kazakhstan]] issued a new series of tenge banknotes in 2006. This was not a currency reform as they replaced existing notes at face value.

The 2006 series is far more exotic than its predecessors. The obverse is vertical and the denomination is written in [[Kazakh language|Kazakh]]. All denominations depict the [[Bayterek|Bayterek monument]], the [[flag of Kazakhstan]], the [[Emblem of Kazakhstan|Coat of arms]], the handprint with a signature of [[President (government title)|president]] [[Nursultan Nazarbayev]] and fragments of the [[Meniń Qazaqstanym|national anthem]]. The main differences across each denomination are only the colours, denominations and underprint patterns.

On the contrast, the reverse side of the notes are more different. The denomination is written in [[Russian language|Russian]], and each denomination shows a unique building and [[geography of Kazakhstan]] in the outline of its borders.

The first printing of the ₸2,000 and ₸5,000 notes issued in 2006 had misspellings of the word for "bank" (the correct spelling "{{lang|kk|банкі}}" ''bankı'' was misspelled "*{{lang|kk|бан'''қ'''і}}" ''ban'''q'''ı''). The misspelling was a politically sensitive issue due to the cultural and political importance of the Kazakh language.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna15316714|title=Kazakh central bank misspells 'bank' on money|website=NBC News|date=18 October 2006 }}</ref>

On 3 October 2016, the ₸2,000, ₸5,000 and ₸10,000 banknotes of the 2006 series lost their legal tender status and are no longer valid. From 4 October 2016 to 3 October 2017, these notes could be exchanged without commission at any second tier bank and branches of the National Bank of Kazakhstan.<ref name="kazworld">{{cite web|url=http://kazworld.info/?p=57344|title=Tenge Banknotes Of 2006 Withdrawn In Kazakhstan|website=kazworld.info}}</ref>

===2023-2025 series===
The National Bank of Kazakhstan announced a new series of banknotes set for issue from 2023 to 2025. Named "Saka", the series will introduce notes issued in a reduced size, drop the Russian language, and incorporate many new security features for all six denominations. Banknotes of the previous series will cease to be legal tender after the release of each denomination, and will be redeemable at banks and post offices for up to three years. The National Bank of Kazakhstan will redeem all previous issues without limit.<ref>[https://mriguide.com/kazakhstan-saka-the-new-family-of-banknotes-presented-yesterday/ Kazakhstan - "Saka", the new family of banknotes presented yesterday.] MRI Bankers' Guide to Foreign Currency (https://mriguide.com/). 19 November 2023.

==Exchange rates and inflation==
On 2 September 2013, the National Bank of Kazakhstan moved the tenge from a managed float and pegged it to the [[United States dollar|US dollar]] and the [[Russian ruble]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2013-08-28 |title=Kazakhstan to peg tenge to U.S. dollar, euro, rouble Sept. 2 |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/kazakhstan-currency-idUSL6N0GT1Y020130828 |access-date=2023-11-06}}</ref>

On 11 February 2014, the Kazakh National Bank chose to devalue the tenge by 19% against the U.S. dollar in response to a weakening of the Russian ruble.<ref>[http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/5a30f3e4-931a-11e3-b07c-00144feab7de.html#axzz2thYSwfoi Kazakhstan devalues tenge by almost 20%] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221227125745/https://www.ft.com/content/5a30f3e4-931a-11e3-b07c-00144feab7de#axzz2thYSwfoi |date=2022-12-27 }}, The Financial Times, 11 February 2014</ref>

On 20 August 2015, the Kazakhstan National Bank did away with the currency band with respect to conversion rate of tenge. Now, the tenge is a free-floating currency and its exchange rate against the major currencies are determined by demand and supply in the market. Due to this change, the tenge lost 30% of its value in a single day.<ref name="astana-almaty">{{cite web|url=http://astana-almaty.blogspot.com/2015/08/devaluation-of-kazakh-tenge-kzt-is-it.html|website=astana-almaty.blogspot.com|title=Blog Travel to Central Asia-Kazakhstan and Astana|date=2015-08-20|access-date=2021-02-05}}</ref>
