The Tajikistani monetary unit is called the somoni. However, there are several synonyms that can be used to refer to this currency. One such synonym is the Tajik somoni, which is a direct reference to the country of origin. The term Tajik ruble is sometimes used as well, as the currency was known as the Tajikistani ruble before it was renamed to the somoni. Another synonym is the TJS, which is the international currency code used to represent the somoni. No matter which synonym is used, it all refers to the same monetary unit used in the country of Tajikistan.
