The Tunisian Dourou ?

#shorts #teachmesomething

This is the Tunisian 5 milleme coin. It's got a cool name, but I have no idea why it's called that. Tell me why?

In Algeria we also call a coin a dourou.. I think it's from the french colonization that brought the ''euro''

All right a tunisian here and to my knowledge if im not mistaken it is in fact called that because in the old days it was accualy not a full coin but a holow one and to us a circle is called (doura) in our spoken arabic so i think that is where the name originated from. Sorry if it turns out to be misinformation
