Tiyin is a unit of currency of Uzbekistan, equal to 1⁄100 of a soʻm. The tiyin was also the name of a subunit of the Kazakhstani tenge until 1995.

The Uzbek tiyin is the world's lowest value coin that was still legal tender until 1 March 2020, although in practice it was rarely found in circulation. [1] As of 2024, it takes 1,000 of them to equal just one penny in the United States. [2]
