Seems like this currency does not have decimals allowed. "decimals": 0,

{
    "symbol": "UM",
    "name": "Mauritania Ougulya",
    "decimals": 0,
    "retired": true,
    "retirementDate": "2018-07-11",
    "ISO4217": "478"
}

[peymancyb]

I do also confirm and agree with @abdel-h66, based on the current config, the currency does not accept decimals which is the reason of not being able to use (.).

This is what I got

The Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRO) is the official currency of Mauritania. In the context of currency, you typically cannot have less than 1 unit of the currency in a monetary transaction. The Ouguiya is subdivided into smaller units, with the most common denominations being the ouguiya and the khoums. One ouguiya is equivalent to 5 khoums.

So, for practical purposes, in monetary transactions, you would typically deal with whole numbers of ouguiyas or khoums, and amounts are not expressed as fractions of an ouguiya. For example, you might have 10 ouguiyas or 50 khoums, but you wouldn't typically have something like "0.5 MRO" in a standard transaction.

[burczu]

@dylanexpensify I've just checked what @shubham1206agra wrote in their comment and it seems to be kinda correct - in Mauritania there is only one coin that is less than 1 Ouguiya called Khoum which is 1/5 of Ouguiya. That's why, I guess, we have decimals disabled in the App for MRO currency, because it would hard to deal with it.

So I think this may not be a bug, actually.
