The series of Mauritanian coins that commenced in 1973 is still current, with the very likely exception of the 1/5 Ouguiya coin which was only ever issued with the date 1973.
This denomination may seem odd, but must have existed mainly due to the fact the intial rate of exchange of CFA Franc to the Ouguiya was 5 CFA Francs to 1 Ouguiya, also the 1/5 Ouguiya had a name of it own, the Ouguiya was divided into 5 Khouma.
In addition to those many dates listed in the SCWC for Mauritanian coins of denominations 1, 5, 10 and 20 Ouguiya, pieces in all but the 1 Ouguiya denomination are known to exist with the date AH1418/1997AD and denominations 5 and 10 Ouguiya with date AH1420/1999AD.

 languagehat.com: OUGUIYA AND ARIARY.
Frequent commenter Tatyana just sent me the word ouguiya, which is in the dictionary and legal for Scrabble use.
I had never heard of it but was thrilled to know it existed; when I googled it, I discovered the equally marvelous word ariary, of a similar nature.
The ouguiya is the currency of Mauritania; it's from Arabic ūgīya, a dialect form of ūqīya 'ounce,' and should thus (in my opinion) be pronounced /u'giyə/ rather than Merriam-Webster's preferred /u'gwiyə/.

 Public Information Notice: IMF Concludes 2003 Article IV Consultation with the Islamic Republic of Mauritania
The impact of the drought on food prices and the depreciation of the ouguiya, especially against the euro, largely explain the pickup in the end-period inflation rate to 8.4 percent, while the 12-month average inflation rate remained close to its 4 percent target.
Gross official reserves reached US$400 million at year-end, equivalent to 8.7 months of imports, in spite of the central bank's heavy sale of foreign exchange in the last quarter, which contributed to narrowing the spread (to about 6 percent) between the official and the parallel market rates.
With the weakening of the U.S. dollar, the ouguiya has depreciated by about 23 percent in nominal effective terms and by an estimated 16 percent in real effective terms from end December 2001 to May 2003.

Chinguitel, majority owned by Sudan's national telecoms company Sudatel, covers 4,000 km (2,485 miles) of main routes spreading through Mauritania, a mostly desert nation straddling fl and Arab West Africa on the western edge of the Sahara.
"Chinguitel has paid more than 27 billion ouguiya ($105 million) and signed agreements to ensure mobile coverage of several towns across the country and contribute to promoting access to information technology," Technology Minister Oumar Ould Yali said.
With fixed-line telecoms infrastructure scarce in many parts of Africa, such as rural Mauritania, a fall in the cost of mobile handsets and the price of calls has sparked a boom across the world's poorest continent.
