Moroccan people use different names for the currency; same money but different names and numbers; Ryal, Frank and Dirham:
* From Ryals to Dirhams, divide by 20, e.g. 1000 Ryals: 1000 ÷ 20 = 50 DHs = 5000 Franks.
* From Franks to Ryal, divide by 5, e.g. 2000 Franks ÷ 5 = 400 Ryals = 20 DHs.
* From Franks to Dirhams, divide by 100. For example, 200 Franks ÷ 100 = 2 DHs = 40 Ryals.
