What is monetary unit?

A monetary unit is a unit of account used to measure the value of goods and services and to record financial transactions.

Different countries use different currencies, each of which has its own monetary unit.

The monetary unit of a country is determined by its government, which has the authority to issue currency and regulate its value.
